Vin Diesel’s sight-adjusted, serial killer anti-hero Richard B. Riddick returns after the awesome PITCH BLACK and the awful THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK with the simply-titled – RIDDICK. We’ve been promised a back-to-basics plot which sees the futuristic outlaw crash land on a planet riddled with ravenous creatures, with Riddick’s only means of escape is to alert the bounty-hunters after his head of his whereabouts using the rescue beacon on his damaged ship. Of course, Riddick has a plan and isn’t going to be taken easy…
We have the first look at the films logo after writer/director David Twohy posted this image of him alongside his team of visual-effects supervisors and this statement about his continued work on the project which finished shooting in August.
Been pulling 14-hour days trying to finish RIDDICK. My typical day starts at 9am with intensive visual effects meetings, sweating out the details of our 900 VFX shots. Then I jet across town to the mix stage, Soundelux, where I supervise the sound, balancing out the often-competing elements of music, sound fx, sound design, and dialog. At night I hit the lab, Technicolor in Hollywood, staying until midnight to do “DI work” — color-correction of the movie. This is where David Eggby and I have one last chance to get the images right, dropping in grads and power windows to finesse what we shot on set. It’s a great tool, the Digital Intermediate. Kind of like Photoshop for movies. Gotta love it. Gotta love the challenge of bringing it all home.
RIDDICK co-stars Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk and Keri Hilson with a release still to be confirmed for next year.
