TV Watch: McKellen Likes ‘Loose Women’... and gives a hint as to when filming on The Hobbit might begin.

Concept Artist Wayne Barlowe Talks Hobbit

Poolburn Reservoir Prepping for The Hobbit? - Now I'm thinking this could just as well have to do with the next Chronicles of Riddick film, because Vin Diesel posted some pictures on his official Facebook from the recent NZ location scouting trip that looked a lot like Poolburn to me!

Diesel hopes 2009 will also bring the third film in "The Chronicles of Riddick" trilogy.

"David Twohy is writing 'Dark Athena' as we speak," says the actor. "The videogame is continuing full force. It's fun....and I'm very excited about what David is doing."

Vin Diesel Promises Two More Riddick Sequels
Published by Shawn Adler on Monday, August 25, 2008 at 3:18 pm.
Four years after his character Richard B. Riddick last graced the silver screen, and some years after telling reporters that there would be another Riddick film in his future, Vin Diesel told MTV News that he no longer thinks there will one day be a Riddick sequel.

He now thinks there will be two.

ODQ says: WTF Shawn, there was ALWAYS talk of two sequels! *rolls eyes*

I couldn't see how they'd do it next year - Vin would be busy with his Hannibal project? But maybe they could at least get pre-production started... omg they better bring Vaako back and give him a substantial role! They should take some inspiration from certain fan fic out there, hee hee... ;)

Now on to ALIEN VERSUS PREDATOR. Apparently there’s a petition floating around the internet that seeks to draft me as director of the next installment of the series. (It seems my old ALIEN 3 script figures into this master plan, too, in ways that aren’t entirely clear to me.) My reaction is “Hmm.” Flattering? Sure. Realistic? Not so much. See, if I’m going to spend a year of my life (and more if I write it) on the third installment of a science-fiction series, well, why wouldn’t I just do the third installment of my own science-fiction series?

Catch my drift?

*crosses everything crossable*

Got the Unrated Director's Cut of The Chronicles of Riddick today. Some nice additional/extended scenes. In regard to Karl Urban's Lord Vaako, there's one in particular featuring him and his wife, Dame Vaako (Thandie Newton), that was extended quite significantly, and oooh am I grateful they did! *fans self* Talk about a fucked-up, kinky relationship! ( Cut for some more rambling including mild spoilers )


Also, a meme! Gee, why doesn't the result surprise me...? ;)

( Yay, I'll go to the Second Level of Hell! )

And now for a hot bath!

I was seriously considering calling in sick this morning - yup, slept badly again last night. Dozed, turned, dozed, turned, dozed... *rolls eyes* Oh yeah, and I kept dreaming snippets of Pitch Black. No, not the "monster in the dark" bits (they weren't that scary), more character interaction stuff. I felt a bit better after I had my tea this morning, though, so decided that I'd go in and I could still go home if I felt too bad. So far it's mostly okay. I guess I'll survive, then. ;)

The reason why I dreamed Pitch Black was that I saw it for the first time last night, finally. I of course have already seen The Chronicles of Riddick several times - yes, because Karl's in it :) - and have been curious to see PB since then. I must say I quite like them both, particularly the sense of humour that runs through. I also like Vin Diesel - not only from what I've seen of him in these two films, but also from some talk show appearance I happened to catch last year. He was promoting that film - sorry, can't remember the title - where he plays a mafia guy who decides to defend himself in court. Vin doesn't seem to take himself too seriously, which I always like in people. :)

*yawn* Right. Work... *sigh*
