Latino Review just posted concept art for the next Riddick movie:
The picture comes courtesy of Vin Diesel’s Facebook page which also features the following caption:

Grrrr…
The Furian… left for dead…
p.s. Being involved in the various preproduction engines, I am afforded an education that is priceless. I have always been a fan of internships as a way of education. When Steven Spielberg hired me for ‘Ryan, the running joke was, that I would have come to set to just get him coffee… haha, he didn’t have to write a role for me – it was an amazingly educational experience.
The Pulse: While Pitch Black wasn’t by any means a great movie, it was a lot of fun, as was The Chronicles of Riddick, even though the whole destiny aspect and Furian stuff was kind of shoehorned in. Supposedly the new movie is going for a “back to basics” approach, and if that means a pared down story and more action then I’m all for it.
So, what do you think? Did the last movie effectively kill the franchise, or is there still enough love for the marble-mouthed Riddick out there to make this new venture a success?
