March 31, 2003 — Vin Diesel said the following to Entertainment Weekly regarding the follow-up series to 'Pitch Black', 'The Chronicles of Riddick':
"I've got books and notes and research that will never play in the movie, but it's just to re-enforce the mythology, so we can say where a character originated from or what their primary source of income is. I want to be able to explain the mythological purpose of Riddick and his origin. And Judi Dench is playing Aereon! It doesn't get better than that! She Gandalf-izes the movie.
He adds that he contributed parts of the story. "There's stuff about plane travel that I want to incorporate that I don't think we've ever seen in movies. And when I say plane travel, I mean travel between dimensions, not airplanes. There's a race of creatures called Necomongers that originate from a demiplane of shadow, which is where the negative plane overlaps with the prime material plane and creates its own universe." |
