Pun Alert! Riddick 3 To Be Called: Dead Man Stalking?
The folks over at coronacomingattractions.com have managed to snag themselves a copy of the script for Riddick 3 and by all accounts it’s looking pretty special, and not only that, they claim that the script is going by the name of The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking.
Yep, Dead Man Stalking!
I’m not yet sure whether Dead Man Stalking is an incredibly cool or unbelievably lame movie title. My gut tells me that it’s only ever going to be the working title but this is Hollywood we’re talking about here so who knows?
Anyway, back to the script. Like I said, coronacomingattractions have put up a script review of sorts, (which can be found <<here>>) but if you can’t be bothered to click on the link, I’ve copied and pasted the best bits…
The Beginning…
When we see Riddick at the beginning of Dead Man Stalking he’s a bloody battered mess, crawling for his life on the baked floor of an alien world. The predators native to this planet are circling in and waiting for death to come so they can feed at Riddick’s corpse — but he won’t let them. Riddick realizes here that he’s got to let what happened to him in Pitch Black and Chronicles go if he’s to survive the next ten seconds, let alone get off this forsaken pit of hell.
What kind of Riddick can we expect to see in Dead Man Stalking?
we truly get to see how scary smart he is when hunting human prey. There’s bits of it in Pitch Black, like when he cuts the hair from the back of the head of the pilot and in Chronicles when he escapes from the UV planet and Crematoria but in Dead Man Stalking it’s pretty much full-on hunter Riddick for about two acts of the movie. Twohy sets up several scenes which shows us how crafty and deadly Riddick is at the top of his game, and to the mercs. When fitted to the unrestrained language and action rating level, this is why Dead Man Stalking has potential to be the setting stone for any follow-up sequels.
Does Dead Man Standing leave any openings for more Riddick movies?
Twohy does set it up for a fourth Chronicles; there are mysteries that lay beyond the planet that Riddick is stranded on and with his past, his homeland of Furya, and why he keeps seeing visions of a woman asking him to come back home for the end fight.
