I don't know if it's just me, but I'm somewhat bummed on the prospect of anything interesting coming out via Sci Fi. TCOR was about the only thing I can think of which left me looking forward to a sequel. As a big Tolkien fan, PJ being dismissed by NL on The Hobbit has got me a bit worried. I'd prefer it be done right, or not at all. And I think it would be a terrible shame if Ian McKellen coudln't follow up his role as Gandalf, brief though it may be for that story.

And with any follow up to SERENITY looking a bit iffy, at best, I'm kinda in a Sci Fi waste land.

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 know what you mean, and for some reason I've been caught in this little sci-fi/fantasy obsession for the past few weeks and don't really want to watch anything else. I'd really like to see more of TCOR, but I fear it will always be a victim of its shaky start and never be able to realize its full potential. Too bad Peter Jackson has been dismissed, and I think it's really important for him to direct it to make it more seamless. I'd really like to see more LOTR films, but I don't see how that could be done, and the originals were quite a feat. Gandalf would definitely have been an interesting character to get more introduced to, and it seems he and Frodo have had a good past together.

Why don't they put out an Official canon comics series or something? That would sell like hotcakes.

Well they had the Dark Fury Animated show, but that was widely criticized from what I'm told. Also it apparently didn't sell well and you could only get it bundled with the other Riddick movies. You would think that the Riddick character would be someone many people would identify with because he represents this sort of bad-a$$ rebel hero who's had it hard and now wants someone's head for it. :)

Did you all know that Kyra/Jack was Alexa Davalos how also played as Gwen Raiden on Angel? (yes, Raiden as in the Mortal Kombat character and Japanese god) The girl that shocked Angels heart to start beating.

I remember seeing the adverts for Chronicles and thinking it looked amazing, so i went out and bought me the 3 dvd set at HMV (the two movies and the anime), Pitch Black was awesome, I have to agree with Grounded on the flaws of it though, even the graphics didn't impress as much as the adverts did for some reason, but i still enjoyed it.

Actually I've never heard of Alexa Davalos outside of Riddick. I think she played the part well, although I heard they initially wanted to recast Rhianna Griffith but she apparently wasn't "tough enough" according to Vin's standards. I actually liked all of the actors like Karl Urban, Linus Roache, Judi Dench, and Colm Feore. I

Hey everyone! I've only just joined this site, i have no idea how to get a good photo or a little quotey thing, BUT i had to leave a message to say i watched the chronicles of riddick again lastnight + i just love it.

I really want more, i want to know what he will do now! I hated what happened to kiera/jack, i'd kinda forgotten (blocked it out) so it was a shock all over again!!

It's such a good movie, i love all the original ideas, the fact that riddick is this furion dude who seems to be the last , or at least one of the last of his kind, and the necromongers are kewl. Helion looked amezin and the crematorian planet was such a good idea. That scene when they run from the heat wave is still so awesome.

Anyhoo, i was looking thru the empire mag (with alien vs predator requiem on) and it said somehting about a new riddick film.

Is it ever gonna happen? I want it so much!!:o)

From wiki:

In a March 8, 2006 article on Comingsoon.net, it was reported that Vin Diesel claimed that a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick was in the works. According to him, he had already written a storyline that covered a trilogy which began with the Chronicles of Riddick. Another article on Comingsoon.net written on March 11, 2005 reports that Vin Diesel states that Chronicles 2 was to deal with The Underverse, while Chronicles 3 was to conclude the series with a return to Furya.

EDIT: Since we haven't seen anything since and since Vin's star has faded I'd bet we aren't going to see anything. According to wiki it made $115 mil off of a budget of $105, probably not enough to sustain studio interest.

Hey AU, I like that movie; no copying me!!!

Yeah, it's the only space-related thing that feels somewhat nearly as textured as Serenity- you can tell Diesel & Twohy cared about their project.
