Word on the street is that Vin Diesel is all worked up about making some sequels to his towering,
$110 million disaster, The
Chronicles of Riddick. In a rather endearing interview with Coming Soon, Diesel explains that
Riddick was always supposed to be a trilogy - a sort of Lord
of the Rings to Pitch
Black's Hobbit, if you will. "I wrote a storyline, essentially, that covered three pictures, so
where Riddick goes in the next two pictures is already mapped out. It's not in script form, but it is being all
developed, and it is going to surface when you least expect it." The problem, however, is that Universal still
holds the rights to the character and, since they still haven't made any money off of Riddick, it's awfully
unlikely that they're going to make a sequel - as we've learned, it's profit that makes studios blind to crap, not
outright stupidity. (As a general rule, at least. Stupidity had to have been at least partially responsible for Deuce
Bigalow: European Gigolo.) Essentially, then, when Diesel says "when you least expect it," he
probably means "never." Poor Vin.Categories
