Have you guys checked out the teaser on the new website (www.pitchblack.com)? It's phenomenal (and Diesel free, if that matters to you). It looks pretty epic...it's like Lord Of The Rings in space, as designed by HR Giger. I can't wait to see the new official trailer next week.

i still havent seen pitch black, although my dad's been telling me to for over a year since he rented it.  so i'll have to watch that so that this will make any sense.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Aside from the main character, I think this will be a completely different type of movie (hopefully it won't implode under its own scope). Although Pitch Black is pretty cool.

With that title, the producers are just asking for critics to title their reviews, "Riddick-ulous."

I just saw the trailer at LOTR... looks very cool... Im pissed at Vin Diesel anyways for being to pretencious and not doing 2 Fast 2 Furious

Ghostboy

Well, it could be really good or it could take itself way too seriously and suck...the trailer's way too short to tell. There's some cool stuff, but Colm Feore's outfit made me laugh. It's cool to see the girl from '28 Days Later,' though...she's a cutie.

Alethia

Ghostboy

No but I liked Pitch Black.

Seeing the trailer again made me like it even less. It's really poorly cut. I'll witthold on judgement, but coming after Sky Captain trailer, this one just fails to impress at all.

There's a lot of phallic and vaginal symbols in that poster...
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.
