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.
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
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.
the trailer just about destroyed everything...the teaser was interesting , but the trailer...lame
this looks quite boring

i second that
.....isn't cinephile 101 to disregard anny film starring vinnny D. ???????
unless tom hanks is in it??????
i like vinny d however
anyone else like XXX?
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.

I saw this today, and it's quite bad. I wish it wasn't, because I really liked Pitch Black and I was hoping this would be some smart sci-fi epic; but it ain't. Pitch Black's greatest asset, perhaps, was its low budget. With unlimited means, David Twohy's tried to make something huge, but he's no Peter Jackson, or even a Wachowski brother. His direction is incessantly awkward and off-balance. He creates this huge galactic menace that is wiping out entire planets, but the main conflict of the movie is centered around Riddick's escape from a jail. I know this is supposed to be a the first part of a trilogy, but the ending leaves nothing hanging, nothing to make us anticipate what will happen next. Not that we have to wonder -- I don't see how this could be popular enough to warrant a sequel.
Afterwards, I felt bad for not liking it. It's not like some terrible, incredibly banal popcorn movie that deserves intense dislike...its simply an incredibly massive misfire by people who nevertheless had good intentions. But no cigar.
Thanks Ghostboy..
After the horrible reviews it has gotten and Ghostboy's comments, I think I'll save my 8 bucks and watch the stuff I've got from Netflix that I've been avoiding.

You've got a great weekend ahead of you.
I think Harry Knowles' review of Riddick is dead on. Twohy is great at making small films. Big is not his style.
(for the record, I actually really liked The Arrival)
