Vin Diesel is getting revved up over his Pitch Black sequel, The Chronicles Of Riddick. The film sees him do battle with a group of crusading religious fanatics led by an evil tyrant. Speaking from the set of the film, he said: "We're not making a movie, we're making a universe. What's so interesting about Riddick is that he has to struggle just to understand the purpose or relevance of heroism. It's about existing your whole life without any sense of identity, and not knowing where you come from, and not knowing who you are, or why you exist."
Friday 12th December 2003: The Chronicles of Riddick Update:

Friday 14th March 2003: Chronicles of Riddick Update:
Vin Diesel has been talking about Pitch Black follow-up
The Chronicles of
Riddick and the XXX sequel. "The objective was never
to make a sequel to
Pitch Black," he says, "but to explore the universe
Riddick lives in and to
explore whatever his purpose is in this universe. These movies
will involve
plane travel through different dimensions." As for the
XXX follow-up. "It's
inevitable," he continues.. "There are two being
written. One of them deals
with Washington and the Capitol Dome. The other one takes
place in the
Orient."

Vin Diesel is thought to be negotiating for a larger salary
for Dame Judi Dench in the Riddick movies. He has said "The

take a lareg role as Aeron an an alien ambassador who helps
Riddick, Vin Diesel's character, escape from a dangerous planet.

Thursday
16th January 2003: Chronicles Of Riddick Update:
The producers of Riddick have answered the criticisms
that the first script for Riddick attracted from an online
review "That's not the version we're making. We had the
same problems with ALL early drafts that the reviewer did:
Basically, it felt like someone was remaking the first movie
-- and spending a shitload more money to do it. We're moving
on to new planets and new situations, even changing genres
from horror to action/adventure. That's also why we choose
to call it "Chronicles of Riddick" rather than "PB2."
It's not so much a sequel as it is a new story that will take
three films to tell".
Tuesday
14th January 2003: Chronicles of Riddick Update:
TNMC have had a look
at the script for Riddick and here's a clip of what they had
to say "There's only one interesting idea pursued in
the story. They're slowly trying to humanize Riddick. Kyra
is obsessed with him. She worships him. Her adoration is the
only reason why he's on that mission. He seems to regret abandoning
her after the events of the first film. There's a quasi-love
story between him and Kyra. It's never fully explored. He
also tends to a little girl, protecting her. He definitely
appears to be more human but he still kicks ass beyond repair.
I was intrigued by the futuristic world run by corporation.
It had serious potential before we are sent to that god-awful
Forest planet. I would have rather liked to see Riddick in
that concrete jungle then into another unhabited landscape."
Friday
6th December 2002: Chronicles Of Riddick Update:
David Twohy was spotted at a recent talk and he was overheard
discussing the in development Riddick movies that he is writing/directing
and a rep was discussing the possibility of signing up Ray
"Darth Maul" Park as a villain in the movies. Twohy
did announce he is looking at a July 2004 release for the
first movie and it will have a much larger budget that Pitch
Black, due to Vin Diesel's increased star power.

Filming news today with the word that Cats and Dogs 2, Chronicles
Of Riddick, Preacher, Scooby Doo 2, Treasure Island (live
action), and an Urban Legend sequel will all film next year
in British Columbia.
Saturday
12th October 2002: Chronicles Of Riddick Update:
Director/Writer David Twohy has been talking about the in
production Pitch Black sequels "We're in pre-production.
The script is finished and I've got my production designer
on it. Right now we're calling the series the CHRONICLES OF
RIDDICK. We're referring to them now as "C-1," "C-2"
and "C-3." I'm plotting all three films as we pre-produce
this first film. The reason why it's "Chronicles"
and not "Pitch Black 2" is because that would give
a false impression of this next film, because not only are
we changing genres - the first one was a horror film and this
one will be action/adventure/sci-fi - but we're also increasing
the scope in such a way that isn't true to the original film
as well. All I can say is that it takes that Riddick character
and follows him through multiple worlds as he meets multiple
adversaries. There's a lot of theology in it. If the first
one justifies any follow-ups at all, then yeah, we're thinking
of doing 2 and 3 together."
29th
July 2002: Riddick Update:
Vin Diesel has been talking to Sci
Fi.com about The RIddick Chronicles.
Vin Diesel told SCI FI Wire that he is confirmed for a
trilogy of sequels to Pitch Black, the sleeper 2000 SF hit
in which Diesel played a convict. The first of the three follow-up
movies is titled The Chronicles of Riddick. "If you're
familiar with the [J.R.R.] Tolkien novels, in the same way
that Hobbit is prequel to The Lord of the Rings, Pitch Black
is a prequel to The Chronicles of Riddick [trilogy],"
Diesel said in an interview. None of the three Chronicles
will be prequels to Pitch Black, as has been rumored, Diesel
added.
The
three films will deal with "the universe that Riddick
is involved with," Diesel said. "It's got this extensive
story that [director] David Twohy's putting together. He calls
it the evil Star Wars." Diesel wouldn't reveal any more
specific details, but did say why he chose to stick with the
Riddick franchise, while turning down further Fast and the
Furious movies.

24th
June 2002: Riddick Update:
Word comes in today that the shoot for Riddick (Pitch Black
2) is planned to get underway in Vancouver this October.
7th June 2002: Riddick Update:
The Chronicles Of Riddick, or Pitch
Black 2, is now officially named 'Riddick'. Universal has
decided to dump 'The Chronicles Of...'. They've also decided
to go with original writer/ director David Twohy's pitch for
the sequel after mulling over drafts from David Hayter (X-Men)
and Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind. Batman & Robin).
Twohy said he thinks of this film along the same lines as
MAD MAX where you could "take [the characters] to
different places in subsequent films."
Universal also plan a third and indeed a fourth installment.
Both will star the hotter than hot Vin Diesel in the title
role of Riddick.
24/4/02:
Riddick Update:
Variety published a report today that
revealed a little more about Universal Pictures' plans to
produce a sequel to Pitch Black, entitled The Chronicles Of
Riddick.
Universal initially balked at Diesel's $12.5 million asking
price for the Radar-produced "Pitch Black" sequel
"The Chronicles of Riddick" before eventually ponying
up for that sequel, which will begin production later this
year. Diesel and his reps have proved to be gutsy negotiators,
which prompted the studio to go to the trouble of commissioning
two "Furious" scripts, one of which was a prequel
that could be made without Diesel if his sequel salary proved
prohibitive.
8/2/02:
Riddick Update:
Rapper Ja Rule has confirmed that he
will appear in The Chronicles Of Riddick, Pitch Black 2. "it's
not scary, but it's like a creature movie. It's like 'Pitch
Black 2.' We're on another planet and it's crazy. These creatures
come out only in the dark, and we can only see in the dark.
Vin's my dog, I shout him out on 'Smokin and Ridin' on my
album [Pain Is Love]. He was in the studio with me that night
when I recorded that. We were in there chillin'. I can't wait
'til we get going to Australia to shoot 'Riddick' and in Miami
to shoot 'Fast and Furious 2'". Wow.
30/1/02: Riddick Update:
The Chronicles Of Riddick will be the sequel to last years
sleeper hit, and Vin Diesel's break out movie, Pitch Black.
Diesel will reprise his role of Riddick in this, the sequel,
and he'll get around £11 million in return. He'll begin
work on this as soon as he completes XXX.
David Twohy, the director of the original Pitch Black will
not return for this, instead he opts for Sci-fi flick Demon
with a Glass Hand. The Chronicles Of Riddick has yet to get
a replacement director.
