‘Riddick’ Tops Box Office, Could Begin New Trilogy
Universal Pictures took a huge risk with Riddick, which stars Vin Diesel as the title character in David Twohy’s sequel to Pitch Black. Even during the film’s production, Diesel told Bloody’s Evan Dickson that there were more sequel in mind, which actually had me laughing a bit. Look who’s laughing now…
Riddick took over the box office this weekend pulling in an estimated $18.6M, which is a strong start for a third film in a franchise nobody every talks about. Easily one of the most unnecessary of sequels, Twohy and Diesel carry intense passion for the franchise, which was once built on the hopes and dreams of becoming the “modern” Star Wars (this was widely talked about before the release of the 2004 The Chronicles of Riddick).
With their passion, the Diesel fans that apparently exist, and great marketing by Universal, it appears that Twohy and Diesel can begin putting the ideas for a fourth film down on paper (they’ve openly stated they want to explore the Underverse and Furya in the next film).
Here’s Evan Dickson’s review of Riddick.

‘Blink Twice’ Trailer – Director Zoë Kravitz Invites You to a ‘Pussy Island’ Murder Party This Summer
“Soooo… everybody’s dead. How about we start at the beginning,” Channing Tatum narrates the opening moments of the trailer for Blink Twice, which debuted online today.
Directed by Zoë Kravitz (The Batman), and formerly titled Pussy Island, MGM’s upcoming Blink Twice will be released only in theaters August 23, we’ve learned this afternoon.
Watch the official trailer below to begin this strange murder-mystery party.
Naomi Ackie stars alongside Channing Tatum in Blink Twice, with the film’s impressive ensemble cast of familiar faces also including Kyle MacLachlan, Adria Arjona, Alia Shawkat, Simon Rex, Haley Joel Osment, Christian Slater, and Geena Davis.
In Blink Twice, “Tech billionaire Slater King (Channing Tatum) meets cocktail waitress Frida (Naomi Ackie) at his fundraising gala, and sparks fly. He invites her to join him and his friends on a dream vacation on his private island. It’s paradise. Wild nights blend into sun-soaked days and everyone’s having a great time.
“No one wants this trip to end, but as strange things start to happen, Frida begins to question her reality. There is something wrong with this place. She’ll have to uncover the truth if she wants to make it out of this party alive.”
Kravitz wrote the script alongside E.T. Feigenbaum.
