| Riddickstyle - You're not afraid of the dark, are you? |
Where the hell can I get more of Riddick?
Gotta kill a few people. Then you got to get sent to a slam, where they tell you you'll never see daylight again. They call it Riddickstyle, the only Triple-Max in the sector run by and for fans of Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.
There are inmates and there are convicts. So, which are you gonna be? You gonna register, or are you just passing through? |  |

Last month both Riddick films were released on blu-ray hi-def with little fanfare, but what's interesting is that on the "Chronicles of Riddick" disc, there is an exclusive commentary featuring Diesel and Twohy that can only be accessed with BD-Live capable players. Recorded in January of this year, Diesel and Twohy give an informative commentary about the film and mention more than a few tidbits about the sequels and the mythology they've been setting up. They don't go into great detail, but if you're familiar with the Riddick mythology you can get a sense of where things are going in the sequels they claim will take us to "Underverse" and "Furya", Riddick's home planet. It's funny listening to the two of them catch themselves from revealing too much because they are obviously excited about the future stories and want to talk about them. The following is an abridged transcript of their thoughts on the Riddick universe and how the sequels will be handled.

Diesel's Riddick is a badass and is coming back to the big screen shortly in the next Riddick film with a rumored release date of 2010.
IESB has some inside information about the film to share.
Universal Pictures, the studio behind the franchise, is gung-ho about a Riddick sequel due to the huge tracking of Diesel's FAST & FURIOUS due out April 3 co-starring Paul Walker.
IESB is hearing the new Riddick film will be more down and dirty with less "fantasy epic stuff" to deal with. A bounty hunter/space pirate type of story line is expected.
The film will have a capped budget of around $35 million.
Expect an official announcement about the new film after FAST & FURIOUS opens big on April 3.

I already thought that Universal would wait with some official statement until Fast & Furious opens. Let's hope it opens really big ^^
35 million budget is okay (PB was like 22), down and dirty is fine (Vin already talked about the R rating for the second movie years ago) but I hoped for a bit more, like 50 or 60 million, because I'm curious to what that means for the storyline that they originally planned. Vin said that they wouldn't ignore the mythology of TCOR, yet it will be hard to 1) keep the visual continuity in terms of the Basilica sets and all the Necro stuff (maybe they still have parts of that + Necro armors etc.?) and 2) to realize the big battle stuff in the Underverse that Vin already talked about a couple of years ago ("War is the norm and it's a bloodbath there..."). I guess that they will still venture to the Underverse, but the details of the plot and the location will be different, because of the smaller budget (well, they could save money by building the same sets in Prague and not in Vancouver, for example). It will probably focus on Riddick and a small group of characters with some creatures like in PB without massive battle scenes, which can be a good thing, but I just hope that they don't really have to sacrifice original and interesting subplots that deal with Elementals for example. Maybe they will save some of that material and if the second one will be successful, they can increase the budget a bit for the third one...
Vin said on Jonathan Ross that he would love to get Judi Dench back... I doubt that, but I hope that Karl Urban and Thandie Newton will return, because the Vaakos are still quite important for the plot I think, if they really go to the Underverse and go deeper into Necromonger mythology. Otherwise they don't really need any of the cast back, except Diesel and maybe Kristin Lehman. But I think Riddick as the new Lord Marshal is too interesting in terms of the plot options to just drop it.

Vin Diesel revealed a few details to SCI FI Wire about a proposed third film in the Chronicles of Riddick series, which he confirmed is in the works.
David Twohy—who wrote and directed the previous two films, Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick—is currently writing the third installment, Diesel said in a conference call last week to promote his upcoming game, The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
"We're going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him," Diesel said in response to a question from SCI FI Wire. "So you'll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive."
Diesel added: "David Twohy is scripting the next installment of Riddick as we speak, and it's underway. The story will return to a Pitch Black [sensibility] while servicing the mythology that's been enhanced in Chronicles of Riddick."
It's a bit of surprise to hear that a third installment is in the works, given the critical and box-office drubbing the second film received. But Diesel remains enthusiastic. "It's so cool, this movie, I feel like I'm going to do it a disservice by trying to touch on it, but the answer is yes, we are working very hard on getting this next Riddick installment," he said. "You know how much I love this franchise and how dear it is to me, and you know how committed David Twohy has been to this franchise."
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena will ship for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on April 7 in North America and April 24 in Europe.

G4 TV had a segment on X-Play with Starbreeze yesterday, and they've posted the first four minutes of the opening cinematic for Dark Athena. It's an interesting scene featuring an unconscious Johns, a perhaps overconfident Revas (voiced by Michelle Forbes), and an elusive-as-usual Riddick.
Hot on its heels comes G4's Hands On Preview showing a never-before-seen level from the new Dark Athena content. Riddick steals a mech, and is out on the surface of the ship causing mayhem. Ian Stevens talks about the content and gives a very nice interview about other game aspects.
Finally, see the new Desperation trailer on Voodoo Extreme, which has a nice voice-over and some cool shots.
PitcherBlacker is keeping up with developments on Dark Athena daily, so be sure to check there frequently too!

In an effort to further saturate our news archives with Dark Athena stories, Destructoid recently posted an interview with Starbreeze Studios. Read for Vin's thoughts on the game, the little girl, multiplayer modes, and more on what Starbreeze is calling their best game to date.
Are you still kicking around? Check out these six new screenshots from Dark Athena (thanks to BruceL).

As we know, the upcoming Assault on Dark Athena for Xbox 360 isn't a full-on sequel to Escape from Butcher Bay. Eurogamer is reporting that Tigon's head of production, Ian Stevens, is calling it an "episodic expansion" rather than a sequel for a very good reason: a much more ambitious true sequel is in the works. In his words, the title is a "couple of years out if you guys want it".
Watch the Eurogamer TV Show Atari Live Special (Riddick goodies from 4:45 to 6:10).

A couple of interesting previews to Dark Athena popped up online after some press event, where Atari showed some stuff from the game. Thanks to Bruce from PitcherBlacker ;)

Besides Vin and Cole Hauser, Michelle Forbes (BSG: Razor) and Lance Henriksen also did voicework! And the swingblades make their first appearence in the Chronicles. Riddick will use them five years later on Crematoria as well. So, he already had some training with them before fighting the Necros. It seems like they are popular weapons for some prisons and Merc ships :)

Even after all these years, most behind-the-scenes and unused material from TCOR has yet to become public. BruceL has just uncovered some spectacular new photos of an unused scene on Planet UV and some wallpaper-worthy concept art, both from the same special effects artist. If that wasn't cool enough, he's also found some equally fresh shots of the scale model for the Crematoria prison cell block! Want more? How about Fernando Dominguez's teaser for his Escape From Butcher Bay fan trailer? How about Necromonger themed contact lenses? New tutorials for making Riddick's swingblades? BruceL found them.
These awesome finds also tell the Riddick fan universe one thing: there's a lot more where this came from and BruceL is on top of it! Check out out this amazing new material at BruceL's comprehensive Pitcher Blacker. If it's your first visit to PitcherBlacker, get ready to see several hours vanish instantly because it's the definitive online Riddick resource, with content vastly eclipsing the official Universal film site.

BruceL of PitcherBlacker asked about the status of Dark Athena over on the Starbreeze forums, and got a response:
Dark Athena is just about done. And the big boys are deciding who is going to publish it.
Good news. As several people have already remarked, the sequel to a critical and commercial success shouldn't have too much trouble being picked up.
GameSpot comments on this as well.

Vin Diesel told MTV News that they are still working on the two planned Riddick sequels:
“David Twowy right now is writing the scripts. The only question is whether we take a page from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ guys and try to shoot the two chapters at the same time. There are two more in mind,” he said of Riddick, the Furyan warrior first introduced in the 2000 film “Pitch Black.” “‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ was presented as a three part trilogy that would answer ‘Pitch Black’ in the same way that ‘Lord of the Rings’ answered ‘The Hobbit.’”
Those are lofty goals indeed for a movie that was very poorly received when it opened in 2004, and had a mediocre performance at the domestic box-office (where it made just $57 million). Diesel, though, is undaunted, insisting that the long space between sequels has nothing to do with convincing others to get on board, and everything to do with wanting to get it right. (To be fair, “Riddick” performed well overseas, and also spawned a best-selling video game which many considered to be better than the movie.)
“Everyone knows I love the Riddick character and I’m always working on it,” Diesel asserted. “It just takes five years to make another one because David Twohy and I are so precious about it.”
So where will Riddick go next? After taking the throne of the Necromonger King at the end of the last chapter, is there any doubt?
“Sooner or later we all end up in the Underverse,” he said of where we can expect the next chapter to take place, adding in a Riddick-like voice, “Sooner or later.”
