'Riddick' News From Facebook

I don't know how many people like the Chronicles of Riddick movies, they did okay at the box office, enough to garner completion of the trilogy at a future date. I love the Riddick movies, both Pitch Black and Chronicles are two of my all time favorite movies, so when they finally started talking up the sequels earlier this year it's safe to say my interest was piqued.

Anyway Vin Diesel update his Facebook page with some great(and disheartening) news. He had this to say on what's going on, "The Riddick discussion is about rating now…
Though Hollywood likes their PG Ratings, the next chapter in the COR series was always envisioned as an R rating, like Pitch Black…"

A studio exec actually suggested this, "One Studio exec suggested doing both “The Underverse” and “The Furyan”, (w...orking titles) at the same time, allowing us an R rating for the first and a PG rating for the second." He also noted that Twohy's script will be ready next month!

Please don't tell me I ma the only one who thinks the studio exec should lose his job for making such a stupid suggestion. A commenter on WorstPreviews said this which I think sums it up in a funny and meaningful way:

"One Studio exec suggested doing both "The Underverse" and "The Furyan," (working titles) at the same time, allowing us an R rating for the first and a PG rating for the second. The good news - David Twohy's script comes in next month."

I have an idea for a porno, it'll be a trilogy.

The first one will be softcore

The second? Super fucking hardcore (possible snuff)

The third? No porn at all.

Let them have their R rating it won't be very good without it. Can't wait to see what they say about the script next month. Keep it hear and you'll be in the know. Comments are always appreciated.
