RIDDICK IS BACK
Vin Diesel will be returning to space to take on more alien scum in Chronicals of Riddick next summer, check out a script review for the flick and see if it’s something to look forward too….
TNMC had a chance to review the script for Vin Diesel’s next Pitch Black flick, The Chronicles of Riddick. Keep in mind this review is coming from someone who actually enjoyed Pitch Black….
The Plot….
‘Vancouver, Canada. Yeah, really. A shady corporate executive named Marek is looking for mercenary Kyra. He wants her for a special mission: Help him Find Riddick (Vin Diesel). How does can she help him? Turns out Kyra is a grown-up Jack(the girl disguised as a guy) from the first movie. She based her life on Riddick’s philosophy. Where’s our favorite psycho-criminal wearing googles? Well, he resides on the 3 suns planet from the first film. His current source of food is those oh-so-sweet Hammerheads from the first movie. Marek has a mission for the big guy, who accepts because the Genosphere Corporation (which owns North America) can erase his criminal record. It’s quite simple, they (Kyra is coming along) have to go to Remorus, the forest planet, steal a brand new source of energy from a remote highly guarded compound and bring it back to Earth. Sounds easy, right? Not quite. The new source of energy is part of the ‘living’ planet. Once they remove the source, the planet instinctively trys to defend itself. It unleashes tiger/tree-like creatures through out the planet to prevent our crew from leaving. Will they make it out alive?’
The reviewers final thoughts….
‘I’m seriously dissapointed. This project in my mind had some serious potential. It could have been one of the coolest sequel based on a villain since T2. Instead it feels like a bad remake of the original film. I hope this isn’t the draft they’re using.’
