Story details revealed
Since David Twohy went “big” story-wise with The Chronicles of Riddick – by turning a cool survival/creature feature into a galactic mythology – I think it’s fair to say a lot of Pitch Black fans are looking for a return to form with the long-mooted third chapter.
For some time, Shock has heard we’d be seeing more of a creature element in the next film and The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that today with the following plot crunch:
Though billed as a back-to-basics approach to the character popularized by Diesel, the script features the character — the most wanted man in the galaxy — left for dead on a barren alien planet, dealing with “trisons” (three-legged bisons) and “mud demons.” He must then contend with two squads of bounty hunters, one of which ride rockets called jetcycles.
Can’t wait to see the designs, furthermore, where Twohy decides to carry Riddick’s arc.
