Third Riddick Plot Revealed

Third Riddick Plot Revealed

It's more of a Pitch Black 2 than a follow-up to Chronicles of Riddick.

Here's a portion of the article from Hollywood Reporter:

“Riddick” delivers on both counts. Though billed as a back-to-basics approach to the character popularized by Diesel, the script features the character — the most wanted man in the galaxy — left for dead on a barren alien planet, dealing with “trisons” (three-legged bisons) and “mud demons.” He must then contend with two squads of bounty hunters, one of which ride rockets called jetcycles.




Diesel's series is up and running again with the 5th Fast and the Furious and now this one. Riddick is an ok movie for me, and I know I'll watch this, though I'm liking the more intimate "Pitch Black" approach rather than that Space-Opera he had the last time.

-ACCESS out. Godspeed and MABUHAY!

I'm really looking forward to this one, even though the Riddick films are more fantastical I find Diesel to be a much better and believable actor in theses movies than the fast and the furious ones.

it will probably be a prequel considering he now rules over the most powerful army in the galaxy, you kill it you keep it or some such nonsense if i recall. most likely begins with the end of chronicles and much of the movie will be in flashback form like they plan with captain america, ending with the climax (flash forward)taking place back in the setting of the second movie. whomever the antagonist is will most likely set the reasoning for the plot timeline.
maybe he is challenged by some bounty hunter that gave him the most trouble hes ever encountered(chronicles setting). driving the plot to the flashback sequence(before or after pitch black, who knows),and inevitably ending in current time(chronicles setting again)as he defeats the guy one on one.
just speculation though lol.

the thing about the riddick stories is that they're all presented out of order. there have been the two movies, Pitch Black and Chronicles. but there have also been two in-continuity video games, "Escape from Butcher Bay" and "Assault on Dark Athena", plus the anime prequel to Chronicles.

as far as i can tell, the order is Butcher Bay, Dark Athena, Pitch Black, the anime (sorry, can't remember the name), and Chronicles.

so if the new one is a prequel, it wouldnt exactly be surprising, since this series hasn't really been putting the story together in chronological order.

also, to say this is more like Pitch Black 2 isn't really fair. they're both stories of Riddick's life. i also heard that when this comes out, they will be renaming Pitch Black and giving it the Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black tagline. that might have been a rumor though.

@KEVEN

Hahaha LMFAO!


IDK, if it's in the same style as Pitch Black I guess i could get behind it. But like i've said before, if the trailer isn't KICK@SS, they won't be getting my $10.

My collector's dvd which has the first two movies and the anime already calls it Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black CDB.
I enjoyed both of the previous movies, so I'll probably see this as well.
