Trisons And Demons And Jetcycles, Oh My!! RIDDICK Details Emerging...

Merrick here...
Hollywood Reporter has a brief article about the pimping of RIDDICK (the third Riddick movie) at EFM's Berlin thingy (EFM = European Film Market). Said article reveals our first pointed hint of the new movie's story details:

Though billed as a back-to-basics approach to the character popularized by Diesel, the script features the character -- the most wanted man in the galaxy -- left for dead on a barren alien planet, dealing with "trisons" (three-legged bisons) and "mud demons." He must then contend with two squads of bounty hunters, one of which ride rockets called jetcycles.

says THR HERE. Early indications said that a third installment might expand upon the "Underverse" metaphysics which drove THE CHRONICELS OF RIDDICK. More recent news points towards that mythology being significantly down-scaled, if not abandoned altogether. Jetcycles. I'm sensing a gnarly Speeder Bike chase in our futures...
