He was a badass supporting character in a sci-fi horror/action movie.

I guess Vin Diesel liked the character so much he decides to build a franchise around him.

So we get an excellent FPS prequel game and this ends up being the peak. Then there's a sci-fi epic movie called Chronicles of Riddick and nobody really cares.

Then they do a sequel/reboot that's like Pitch Black again and still nobody cares.

I have a feeling Vin wants to try again.

I still maintain that the director's cut version of Chronicles of Riddick was good.

Riddick was amazing, espeically the 30 minutes or so where it was like Cast Away and he was just trying to survive on that planet.

If I remember right they added the 'sequel' to the 360 re-release. It was more like an expansion IIRC

The game while fun had an amazing exploit, enemies lost pathfinding through doors (they couldn't follow.detect you).

I think Vin Diesel is one dimensional as an actor, so when it came down to it, it was Vin Diesel in a Vin Diesel movie. He isn't good enough of an actor to create and portray a unique character to set himself apart from everything else he does. It's always muscle bound tough guy with a deep stern voice.

Quite a few, Stallone is the big one that comes to mind. Bruce Willis is another.

A few of them do manage to do both action and comedy well.

Batista was solid in his Blade Runner scene.

I love Stallone and Willis. Lets not pretend they would have a career outside of being action stars.

I think these two work because they feel like overall small scale stories in a larger universe.

Trying to make Riddick some hero with a destiny is just...no. Sorry Vin.

I get the feeling Vin just wants to be the lead of a big franchise. Like he sort of has that with Fast and the Furious but it's not exactly what he wants.

Imagine claiming Vin Diesel is one-dimensional when he's played a fucking talking tree who can only say "I am Groot" in various tones to express his feelings.

That's entirely different from what you first stated though, and I don't disagree with you. But we were talking range, and Diesel doesn't come close to either. I think you have a different actor in Riddick, that stands out and creates the character, it's a more successful franchise.

Didn't Chronicles of Riddick just have the same ending as Conker's Bad Fur Day?
