The Chronicles of Riddic

[Rob G]

Chronicles of Riddic is ofcourse the sequel to Pitch Black. Though the director constantly repeats that Pitch Black will serve as the Hobbit did to the Lord of the Rings. As the Chronicles of Riddic will be a Trilogy.

Just watched the first ten minutes on MTV. Looked Great. This movie is alot more of a Sci-Fi epic then advertised. With Exotic landscapes, planets, ships, alfits, and sick special effects. The movie introduces the villians known as the Necromungers. An evil clan which is in search of their homeworld which lies somewhere in the universe known as the Ultraverse. Only their lord has reached the gates to this place and it changed him. He is now Half alive and half something else. They show him with the ability to astral project his form.
The story picks up Riddic with a huge beard and long hair looking grizly as hell. Hes on some dark ice planet seeking seclusion. But another bounty hunter has found him. Riddic Learns that there is a new bounty on his head which is some insane amount of money. It was put out by an anonymous source on Helio Prime. This leads riddic to believe it was put out by The Holy Man who is infact his only friend. (This the black guy keith david from pitch black). Riddic feels betrayed and will now go to Helio prime to finish this.

Its on like that.
Looks great. Starts Friday.

The Chronicles of Riddic: Escape from Butcher Bay.

This is the video game prequel to Pitch Black. Telling the story of how Riddic escaped from prison in the first place. Its a great game but the first person interface is tough.

Story of the game:
Riddic is in transport by the bounty hunter Jons from Pitch black. THey arrive at butcher bay prison which exists on a desert world. Jons tries to negotiate a higher price for riddic. The Warden says no and takles riddic. They put riddic in maximum lockdown. He makes deals and fight people to move up in the prison heirarchy. He escapes and almost kills the Boss guard (voiced by rapper Xzibit.). But he gets caught and put into double max in the mines. He escapes again and is caught at the last second. So finally he is thrown into permenant Chroro sleep. But he is released for 2 minutes of exercise everyday. He escapes again and this time get ahold of a Mech. He kills lots of shit. He kills all the guards and the warden. He is forced to hook up with Jons and together they escape. It is left open for a sequel.
