|
 |
Read it here: http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/KingPatel/news/?a=127214
Vin Diesel's production company just launched its TV division and Diesel announced they will develop a series called "Merc City, which will follow the mercenaries and bounty hunters of the Riddick universe."
Meanwhile David Twohy, writer and director of the 3 Riddick movies begins writing the script for the 4th movie this December with the title "Riddick: Furya" (well Diesel typed it as Furia but I'm pretty sure he got it wrong).
Twohy has been saying since Chronicles flopped that he planned on making two more Riddick movies: one where Riddick passes through the Underverse and the final where he gets back to his home: Furya. Even when Riddick (3) launched he was still saying the same thing (about 2 more movies), as that movie didn't really progress the plot it was just a mini-reboot after the previous movie flopped. But if the next movie is called "Riddick: Furya" I guess they are skipping straight to the final part (unless they are doing Furya Part 1 & 2).
Maybe it's for the best because the success of those movies is far from certain and I'd hate for them to find themselves unable to find a financier if the next one flops. Also Diesel isn't getting any younger (by the time part 5 would begin shooting he would be in his 50s).

Age doesn't matter that much, it's about keeping fit.

of course it flopped. it was an expensive sci fi film, that was a sequel to a low budget sci-fi cult b-movie and didnt have MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT slapped across it.
anyway as for that vin pic, pretty sure i saw that quite a while ago... and its not a big deal.. who gives a shit, actors go through this shit more often than people realise... and they always manage to get back into shape when it matters, because they have a pretty solid mindset when it comes to getting back in shape... its not a big deal, i think we all saw the arnie pics... and he looks fantastic now.

They have contracts that oblige them to hit the gym. http://www.mensjournal.com/magazine/print-view/building-a-bigger-action-hero-20140418
| Quote: | | An out-of-shape actor can force a director to recast roles, reshoot scenes, or use CGI effects, often at great expense. Once he is signed on for a role and a production schedule is set, the actor is expected to do whatever he has to to get in the shape required of his character. Fitness budgets are baked into most contracts; studios typically pay for trainers, nutritionists, and even home-delivered meals. Some studios make a point to hire their own trainers so they can control the outcome. |

Last one was shit and I doubt Furya will be any better. Pitch Black had a unique and interesting style with it's own peculiar atmosphere. Chronicles was totally different (although I actually liked it a lot even though my opinion about it seems to be in minority) with it's own style. Riddick was almost like an indie movie with a poor script.
I've written this before in some other thread but they should just try to make something that resembles Escape from Butcher Bay (a great story in a great game).

The Riddick films make good money on home video. I doubt it's massive amounts of money, bu maybe adequate enough to give the franchise one more (final) chance.
