Movie news...

From Vin Diesel - "Riddick is gonna happen big time," says Diesel. "The Chronicles of Riddick, know the name. The Chronicles of Riddick. It's a trilogy. Think of Pitch Black as being the prequel to this trilogy in the same way that the Hobbit is a prequel to The Lord of the Rings."

Matrix stuff - Keanu Reeves has flown back to the US and put his Matrix filming on hold. His sister has leukemia and is not doing so well. I hope she gets better.

Trailer for the new footage in the DVD for Fellowship: SPOILERS for new footage. So cool, though.

Some strange Orlando Bloom stuff (and a Legolas thing from the new DVD footage REALLY COOL) http://www.warofthering.net/downloads/miscfootage.shtml

Both of those play in Real Player. Definately worth it.

Hmm. Pitch Black definitely made a good movie to set the stage for the character of Riddick, without forcing a larger story. But it left you wondering about the character.

I thought Pitch Black was a fun movie. I'll be interested in seeing these 'Chronicles of Riddick' if they ever come out.
