good stuff. love to see when actors don't just care about the money.
-like how david hayter gave half his pay in TTS to get the old MGS voice cast back.

plus, he's gonna be rolling in money from fast five, and with 6 and 7 being proposed, he's probably not gonna miss the riddic money.

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

New picture on Vin's Facebook!!

Yep, he's definitely shrunk down and toned up since F5.

[ProXimity]

Love me some Riddick. Escape from Butcher Bay, anyone?

[WonkersTHEWatilla]

Oh my god, there's no way Starbreeze will make a new Riddick game, is there? :(

[ProXimity]

lol No, they're making Syndicate. After that flops (cool concept, but it's not a good climate for reboots), I couldn't see them getting the opportunity.

[purple cobra]

Katee Sackhoff starts filming tomorrow and will hopefully have a pic on her twitter feed. Cant wait to see what she looks like in it. some skin please

Haven't kept up much at all on this movie, I didn't know Katee is in this. :) I loved her in BSG. Vin's looking great too as Riddick again. Haven't watched either of these movies in years. Going to have to dig out the dvd's, unless they're on Netflix.

I think I've seen Pitch Black available on Netflix.

[heliosRAzi]

Vin Diesel: the Anti-Norris.

Seriously, why isn't he in Expendables 2?

Yeah, and she has been tweeting for weeks about how crazy her workout is. In other words, firm and toned Katee. Yum.

Bonus, she is a villain. Well, a bounty hunter after Riddick.

[The Take Out Bandit]

Vin Diesel: the Anti-Norris. Seriously, why isn't he in Expendables 2?

Because Chuck Norris is filling the role of token Goober.

[LOCK]

Has so much potential. I will probably be there day 1.

[StalkerUKCG]

Hopefully It gets a game, AoDA was a great buy.

[The Power Of Snap]

In!

[Magnus]

Ignorant question: what does his pay have to do with the film's rating?

[Count Dookkake]

Ignorant question: what does his pay have to do with the film's rating?

There is a persistent belief that R-rated movies can't make as much as PG-13 ones.

Lower pay means lower budget means movie has to make less.

[Decado]

Vin Diesel: the Anti-Norris. Seriously, why isn't he in Expendables 2?

Because they don't want the type of action star that would take a pay cut to ensure an R-rating.

[TheSeks]

lol No, they're making Syndicate. After that flops (cool concept, but it's not a good climate for reboots), I couldn't see them getting the opportunity.

Given Dark Athena, I think that's a good thing. Don't get me wrong, I love me Butcher Bay and Dark Athena, but Dark Athena needed more time in the oven and maybe dropped/scrapped the tacked-on multiplayer to polish the experience more.

That said: If Vin stopped by Starbreeze and oversaw a Riddick game again, I'd be all for it.

[mjc]

This one had the concept art of him fighting the alien hounds right? Count me in.

[GhostRidah]

Man I cant wait, loved pitch black, thought the second was ok, and loved the games, hope this one turns out great.

[Red_Man]

Hoping the new movie is more like Pitch Black and less like Chronicles.

This. Pitch Black is great fun, Chronicles on the other hand is a lot of meh, still pumped though this is a great character and universe to work with.

[viewtifulsub]

Thinking of giving the franchise another shot after seeing Pitch Black 10years ago and thinking it was pretty average.

Viewing/Playing order would probably best by production date? Ie: Pitch Black > Dark Fury > Chronicles of Riddick > Escape from Butcherbay > Dark Athena

Play the games before watching Chronicles of Riddick. Watch that one (the director's cut, specifically) last.

[malfcn]

Yes. Do it right!

Will do. Cheers

[TOM f'N CRUISE]

nice

[AgentOtaku]

Yes, make sure you watch the Director's Cut of Riddick

[Rokam]

Yes, make sure you watch the Director's Cut of Riddick

What's so important about the director's cut? Only ever seen it on tv. I know one difference is Riddick says the line at the end of the movie in the DC, but that's in the one they show on tv as well

Per IMDB

•Director's Cut DVD release contains additional scenes and runs for approx 127 minutes. This includes some general alternate/additional footage that was cut from the theatrical versions for pacing and for a PG-13 rating. Additional scenes include:
◦A earlier introduction to Kyra, being forced into one of the empty hellhound cages on cremetoris.
◦The sub-plot of the Furyan energy is completely restored, several instances of these scenes are visible in the trailer for the film but not contained in the theatrical version of the film.
◦Riddick, while in cryo-sleep aboard Toombs' Skif en-route to Helion Prime is approached in a vision by Shirah (Played by Kristin Lehman as in the game "Chronicles Of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay"), and she starts to tell him about Furya before he is interrupted by his arrival at Helion Prime.
◦The Purifier's speech to the captured people of Helion Prime is longer (Director David Twohy on the commentary comments that this is the complete version as originally intended).
◦Vaako and Dame Vaako's discussion about the Lord Marshall being promoted to full death is extended, continuing with him and her discussing his demise and foreplay.
◦After Dame Vaako queries Aereon about Riddick, she discusses what she learns with Vaako over a telepathy/communication with him on the transport.
◦The fight sequences between Riddick and the Necromonger armies on the surface of Crematoria is completely unedited, containing full sound effects of the fight and is more visually brutal.
◦After the fight on the surface of Crematoria, Riddick is surrounded by Necromongers and Vaako is about to shoot him when Shirah re-appears to him and reveals the truth about what happened on Furya, the revelation sending out a blast from Riddick, knocking all the soldiers down and leaving Riddick unconscious - A shot of this "blast" can be seen in the trailer.
◦The ending is more abrupt, Riddick says "you keep what you kill" instead of Vaako, and Aereon's voice-over is not included.

Thanks, guess I'll look into picking it up. One of the few movies I watch every time it's on tv.

[INDIGO_CYCLOPS]

Probably Vin's best movies, and I love the universe of Riddick...

Glad to see this is happening.

[Melchiah]

Yes, make sure you watch the Director's Cut of Riddick

I think I'm going to do just that tonight.

[Scullibundo]

[Stallion Free]

Since production has begun, do we have a rough ETA on the films release?

[SpeedingUptoStop]

Once again, Vin Diesel is face to face with the rock.

[Solo]

Since production has begun, do we have a rough ETA on the films release?

Next year

[Stallion Free]

Next year

That feels so far. Oh well at least we will probably get a trailer before the end of the year.

[Anticitizen One]

I actually prefer the theatrical cut's ending of Chronicles of Riddick.

[Dead]

The summary really does its best to make it sound like Pitch Black

Though I think the fact that Karl Urban is in this and that it is a sequel to Chronicles is probably good enough a hint that it will be a bit more than just a rehash of the first

[The Janitor]

I hope it's more like the game with less supernatural bs, I think Riddicks character is a lot cooler in the games

Whishful thinking though, most likely gonna be based on the last movie

[sp3000]

The game's atmosphere is much better than the movies. It's one of the most unique universes ever made, primarily because it's anti space opera. Escape from Butcher Bay really showed the dark, gritty feel that I hope this movie captures. The second movie was missing it.

[strafer]

New pic.

Very Apocalypse Now.

[Ninja Scooter]

I didn't care for Chronicles of Riddick but I'm not gonna lie, i'm a little hyped.

[Scullibundo]

Riddick sees through Sly's PG13 bullshit and will eliminate his command with extreme prejudice.

[JdFoX187]

I wonder if they kept the Furyan subplot from the initial reports. I remember reading the Necros left him on the planet to die, and he has to escape and return to Furya to ultimately stop them from entering the Underverse, or something like that. This sounds like it's just some sort of side-story that's more of a sequel to Pitch Black than Chronicles. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I was curious where they'd go with the Necros.

[Dead]

New pic. Very Apocalypse Now.

badass

[Demoncarnotaur]

Hm, this is looking fun..I have never seen Chronicles of Riddick. Im gonna change that.

[PhoncipleBone]

BADASS! I love how he is slowly leaking pics out on his facebook page. Hope to see what Katee Sackhoff looks like soon.

The plot of the second movie wrote the character into a corner and into something he's not. Too big in scale and hard to write a Riddickish story.

Dumping him on a planet alone is a great way to reset things and at the end they can have him catch up with the necros only to find them mostly wiped out by whats in the underverse. Good way to avoid the space opera the second movie was setting up.

[FStop7]

Really glad this is happening. Pitch Black and Chronicles were (mostly) awesome.
