Production Begins on The Chronicles of Riddick
Source: Universal Pictures Tuesday, July 1, 2003

Universal Pictures, in association with Radar Pictures and One Race Productions, has announced the start of principal photography on the science fiction action-adventure epic The Chronicles of Riddick, starring Vin Diesel and co-starring Colm Feore, Alexa Davalos, Karl Urban, Linus Roache, Thandie Newton and Dame Judi Dench. The film is written and directed by David Twohy (Below, Pitch Black).

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 (Colm 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 (Alexa 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.

mediocrity? ahahahahaha.....not so my friend. not even close.


i watched it tonight and don't think i've ever seen worse acting in a major movie. they never gave him more than 3 words at a time. and even then, most of them weren't said with the camera on him. i knew it would suck but i wasn't prepared for the magnitide of suckiness that i encountered. the line were so cheesy and predictable.

it was a fun movie to watch with my friends. there were so many things to mock and question.

anyhow....beware monumental suckage

Wow went digging for this one huh? It's interesting that the movie was bad, because the video game reviews have been great. Haven't seen either myself though. :shrug:

Movie is awful from every aspect. That's all I have to say about that.

I too have heard the same about the video game. It's supposed to be entertaining and the character movements are pretty durned close to looking real.

i enjoyed watching it because it was so terrible. it's one of those movies that doesn't disappoint you because you know ahead of time that it's gonna suck. and believe me, it lived up to this expectation.
