Well, I guess RIDDICK is officially getting ready to shoot. Director David Twohy and Vin Diesel have been working on the film for a while now. They both previously confirmed that this chapter will be much different than The Chronicles of Riddick and stay true to the original tone and style of Pitch Black. Now, Moviehole has some exclusive details regarding the story and characters.
"Here’s who they’re scouting for at the moment:
- Boss Johns
- Santana
- The sexy female merc Dahl
- The smug commander Krone"
As for the plot details, there is a lot of it, mostly spoilers, so I'll post the part that captures the whole thing. Read below:
"In a nutshell, the movie sees Riddick back on a barren planet, surrounded by monsters and mercenaries – both species who want him dead and vice versa. Though there’s a couple of potential cameos from previous Riddick movie faves, it’s mostly fresh blood this time surrounding the big guy. And speaking of fresh, the character seems to have gotten a welcome, kick-ass overhaul...he’s more brutal, bad-ass and virile (as some may say) than he was in the previous films."
I have to say, this sounds pretty cool. The site goes on saying that
Karl Urban will return as Vaako and some other intresting stuff. For much more, just follow the link at the bottom of the page. So, what are your thoughts on the new
RIDDICK film?
