Ok I loved both...and I am really hoping for a sequel apparently they ( Diesel and Twohy) are in talks right now for it:) Fingers crossed. I just love that when given his choice of actors to work with Vin Diesel picked Judy Densch...How cool is that!

And death by teacup is amazingly funny

loved chronicals of riddick but did not like pitch black that much which is odd. The teacup was a great comment but i really liked jack and riddick together.

I wasn't too thrilled about Pitch Black either, the 1st time. I mistakenly thought it was just a rough remake of 'Alien'. Much later, when I rewatched it, I was like " Wow! Good flick!" I payed more attention to the characters and how they dealt with the situation facing each. Loved it so much, I bought the DVD.

After renting the short animee , and buying Chronicles, I'm hooked on the whole Riddick story. I want more!

People love a happy ending. So every episode, I will explain once again that I don't like people. And then Mal will shoot someone. Someone we like. And their puppy. - Joss

I liked "Pitch Black" a lot more than "Chronicals"...

I saw an interview with Vin Diesel, a long time after Pitch Black was made, where he said that he was starting to work on a Trilogy of movies with the Character from Pitch Black. I think it was on "Late Night with David Letterman" and Dave said that it was a bad idea.

They did release a half hour animated straight to DVD story and it takes place just after the events in Pitch Black. It is called "The Chronicles Of Riddick: Dark Fury". The Story is by David Twohy, The Director of The Chronicles Of Riddick. Which I didn't like but you can now buy the Riddick Trilogy which contains Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury and The Chronicles of Riddick and it makes me think the Studio gave up on The Riddick Film Series.

I hope I'm wrong because I thought was very good and quite unique.

I'm not sure I thought it was unique, but for me it seemed to be pure Greek Tragedy, with all the great story themes used through the ages - Fight for Freedom/Capture, the journey/escape from Hell, the final confrontation with the gods (or god, in this case) and the messiah-like overtheme of the outsider/saviour from the wilderness. I liked it at first, then I really liked it once I had thought about it a while.

Then again, I like "Joe Versus the Volcano" for the same reasons.

Well, if Dave Letterman says it's a bad idea....

Either Dave was being sarcastic or he doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

Or both.

It was the failure of the Riddick animated movie, along with the Van Helsing animated dud, that led to Universal cancelling the planned animated Serenity straight to DVD flick, which instead became Those Left Behind, the comic book.

I think that Vin needs another big hit before they commit to another Riddick.

PB and TCOR are two of my favorite movies, and despite its lack of popularity I found TCOR fascinating. Unfortunately I think its problems stem from being too similar to the Borg in Star Trek, although the religious theology aspect was really interesting. I just wish they had gone further with that. I also think that they should have maybe waited and killed the Lord Marshall in the third movie. Apparently they were going for a Lord of the Rings trilogy type deal with PB being "The Hobbit." I really admired the special effects, and many of the lines.

For some odd reason the character of the Purifier really inspired a lot of feelings for me, and I think I can really relate to his situation. His final lines, "We all began as something else. I've done unbelievable things, in the name of a faith that was never my own," were just beautiful. Overall I think the film actually represents a lot we experience in life, often being confronted with the choice to convert or die. The fighting scenes were also really cool, and I wish it was possible to do those things in real life.

Oh, and as for the sequels, supposedly Vin bought the rights to the movie and is considering working with David on the trilogy. If anything does in fact take place, however, it won't be until at least around 2008. Supposedly they want to go for a full R-rating, which should make it better. I just hope they go through with this, because I couldn't stand to see this great movie be given up on like FF/Serenity.
