Who's seen the preview? I saw the preview when I watched Return of the King, and I gotta say I'm excited to see Vin Diesil back as Riddick from Pitch Black.

Thoughts?

Hey, Taehun! Long time no see; glad you're still with us.

I agree 200 percent; anything with Vin Diesel as Riddick has got to be good! I missed the preview, however (ok, I knew ROTK was going to be LOOOOOOOONG, so I took a bathroom break, hehe!!)-- does it look to maybe be a sequel to Pitch Black?

I sure hope so; that is one of my all-time favorite sci-fi movies. Why? Because the lady-interest didn't survive; most directors would have had that happen.

Like the movie "Little Shop of Horrors;" it did not follow the Broadway ending, where practically everyone got eaten by the plant, heh.

But yeah, I'm anxious to see this movie when it comes out.

You can actually view the trailer at http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/thechroniclesofriddick/ It seems like they're not necessarily making a pitch black sequel, but are following the Riddick character in some time that takes place after Pitch Black.

Kewl, I hope it turns out to be another sci-fi and as good as Pitch Black was!

Here is plot info from http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/c/chroniclesofriddick.php:

The official website for the movie is http://www.thechroniclesofriddick.com/

POTENTIAL SPOILER!

****************

Plot Summary: Vin Diesel reprises his star-making "Pitch Black" role of enigmatic anti- hero Richard B. Riddick in the new science fiction action-adventure epic, "The Chronicles of Riddick". Riddick has spent the last five years on the move among the forgotten worlds on the outskirts of the galaxy, eluding mercenaries bent on collecting the price on his head. Now, the fugitive finds himself on planet Helion, home to a progressive multicultural society, which has been invaded by the Lord Marshal (Feore), a zealot who targets humans for subjugation with his army of warriors known as Necromongers. Exiled to a subterranean prison where extremes of temperature range from arctic nights to volcanic days, Riddick encounters Kyra (Davalos), the lone survivor from an earlier chapter in his life. His efforts to free himself and Kyra lead him to the Necromonger command ship, where he is pitted against the Lord Marshal in an apocalyptic battle with possibly the fate of all beings-both living and dead-hanging in the balance.

I thought the directors cut of chronicles of riddick was awsome. Tell more of the story than the regular version.

I don't know anyone who doesn't have the directors cut. I'd rather meet someone without it, I think it's more rare.
