Pon farr is never logical, Mr. Spock



Good to know it's going to be more like Pitch Black than the stupid bullshit that was Chronicles of Riddick.

You can go ahead and go straight to the Underverse.

Holy hell, that was unbelievably badass.

edit: vvv Yeah, I'm curious about this too... I mean, where's Karl Urban? I thought he was returning?

Chronologically, it's after Chronicles of Riddick - which is still canon - but they tie up some loose ends from CoR and return to a setting more similar to Pitch Black.

Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?


Why is Riddick stranded on some backwater planet, again?

Isn't he Lord Marshal of the Necromongers, now?

It looks like it'll be exactly like Pitch Black. It's a shame, I really enjoyed (conceptually that is, Chronicles was a lousy film) the franchise moving from a taut action film into a sprawling space opera. It was just so inexplicable.

True story.



This looks beautifully 80's. Well, not in terms of it's aestehtic look, but in terms of tone. If that's a dumb comment it's probably because I haven't seen the other Riddick films though. For shame.

I get half!!

That trailer made it look almost identical to Pitch Black. I mean I liked Pitch Black, but I'm not sure I have to see the exact same movie again.

Good job, Internet, all your cries that Chronicles weren't Pitch Black have been heard! At least they did not listen to gamers, the previous one already was a a prison movie.

Riddick is Space Conan, his stories should fit every adventure template, not retell the same story.

That said, cautiously hyped.

This space is reserved for future considerations.

For a film with a $38 million budget, it looks pretty sweeping.

I'll see it for the cute Space German Shepherd that Riddick befriends.

Chronicles of Riddick owns and is a really cool Conan-style D&D adventure put to screen! Put aside your cynicism gentlemen, today is the age of enjoyment

Vin even agreed to do this one for scale just to get it greenlit.

All the cynics should be ashamed.

It does look like a bit of a retread of Pitch Black but I kind of loved Pitch Black so I'm not sure I'm bothered by this. I'm curious to see what the Necromongers roles are in this though. I know Urban is in it but I didn't spot him in the trailer, only some generic Necromonger guy

Sure hope that they evacuated most of the cities that they dropped the Jaegers in.

I don't understand why there's this glut of awesome looking sci-fi movies coming out soon, and I don't care. I'm just gonna enjoy it while I can.
