We already got a pseudo-Pitch Black remake in Riddick. I'm down for some more Chronicles-esque shenanigans in the next one.

Didn't like Riddick either.

Just Pitch Black, the two sequels feel like they are in a different universe reallt.

The 1st could have been at home in the Alien universe IMO.

Diesel's best performance, instantly becoming iconic. Curious about this one, but I'll stay cautious after the disappointment that Riddick was.

Love all three of them. Such fine s-f movies they are. All different  but joined by Riddick character. Best performance by Diesel by far. Only Find Me Guilty and Babilon A.D. are on pair.

Definitely looking forward to another Riddick movie, it's promising that Diesel is posting about a new one again.

As far as I remember we are promised with two more. Underverse (which I think is the next one) and final Furya after that. I wouldn't mind old Diesel finally comming home and find some piece.

Pitch Black feels so disjointed with the other two films that I just have gotten into the habit of pretending it's its own thing.  To me, there are only two Riddick movies - Pitch Black is off by itself, and I can enjoy the sillyness of the Riddick films in peace lol

I thought Furya was the next one? That's what he was posting about last time.

karl urban as vaako needs to return, those two need to hash it out.

Underverse/Furya

Two more would be great, but i think he'll just make furya.

I think he's said something about making them into one movie.

Of course I'd love two more instead of one more, but still you can't do wrong with more Riddick.

I got this feelin' that when he finds furya he's gonna go off on a Toretto speech about family.

I'm definitely looking forward to more Riddick films, especially continuing with the Chronicles narrative.  8)

Riddick was supposed to be transported to the Fiorina 161 Class C Work Correctional Unit, until the ship was damaged and forced to make an emergency landing.  :laugh:

But seriously, I agree as it really does feel like a totally different beast. Pitch Black is well done B-horror movie. The Chronicles of Riddick feels like a pastiche of a Dune-like space opera. Riddick tried to be like the original, but in a way it does feel like part of the space opera and not so much of Pitch Black, with that last one staying as a retro-futuristic stanalone movie; with all and its gritty barren planet plus the ship, wich reminds me that Ian Hunter & Matthew Gratzner, both artists behind the feature-film visual effects of Pitch Black,  were also working together in Alien: Resurrection.



Speaking of which, Riddick admiring bioraptors, almost like he identifies with them much better than with humans, adds some eerie personality traits to the antihero - in the spirit of Ash (Alien) but more in a comic book style, ala Ripley 8.

I get the feeling that Vin is thinking he might not get to do more. Riddick took ages to get made, and it didn't light the world on fire box office wise.
