vin diesel looks like he plays the same character in that other movie pitch black. are the two connected at all?
Yeah, it's a semisequel to Pitch Black. Vin was talking about it on the Daily Show back when "xxx" came out.

It's the prequel to Pitch Black. It's the story of what happened to Diesel's character prior (I believe immediately prior) to Pitch Black.

It looks pretty good.
Pitch Black was good, too.

It's not a prequel, it's after the Pitch Black movie. It also sounds like there is supposed to be atleast one more film if not two more in the series. Vin Diesel mentioned that it was a story supposed to be told in three films, but didn't mention if that included Pitch Black or starts with Chronicles.
Overall I'm fairly excited for it. Pitch Black was cheesy, "B" quality but it was fun as hell and Rid**** was a great character.

Sorry for the bad info. I read an article about the videogame based on the film, and they said the movie was a prequel.It's not a prequel, it's after the Pitch Black movie.
Anyway, I think Pitch Black was probably Diesel's best performance to date. There was at least a little depth to his character as opposed to the cardboard cutout tough guys he's been playing since then. Hopefully he'll turn in another decent performance in Ridd!ck.
I'll go see it regardless. I can't resist big budget sci fi movies, no matter how lame they often end up being. Hell, I'm going to see I, Robot, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be lame.

I think it was being touted as a prequel at first but the interview I read with him mentions he makes a stop at some snow planet to pick up the only other survivor of the first movie.
My prediction is this movie will be delightfully cheesy. Any movie that has planet called "Cremetoria" is going to be awesome!

Nothing I hate more than some coked-up Hollywood producer and director conspiring to make the source material "more accessible" so the vast majority of stupid Americans won't feel dumb while watching the movie version.

I haven't actually read I, Robot, and I don't plan on reading it in the near future (maybe after seeing the movie I'll be inspired to read it). However, I've been told the story is more or less a puzzle of logic, which doesn't translate well into an action film format. So, I'm not really expecting the movie to follow anything beyond the bare bones of the story. I have an open mind about it. I liked A.I., even though it certainly would have been a different film if Kubrick had lived to make it.
Regarding the whole dumbing down stories issue, I think Bladerunner is a classic example of a translation to film that stayed true to the spirit of the story while eliminating whole elements of the story to make it more accessible. It's a shame more directors don't approach the source material with the respect that Ridley Scott did with that film.
