They don't mention that it'll have 10 extra minutes for the DC, but I've read that elsewhere. And I assume there will be some deleted scenes, too.

Maybe the extra 10 minutes of footage will be the deleted scenes put into the feature?

Well, they wouldn't be deleted scenes if they're put back into the feature, now would they? At that link he said that the original cut of the film was 2h20m and his contract was for a 2-hour picture. He said the DC will have 10 extra minutes. You do the math.

I just remember the blu-ray edition of Jackson's King Kong had BOTH deleted & additional scenes put back into the feature...not shown after on the Bonus Menu.

So we still don't know how he got his eyes and why that car in Riddick had the same eyes.

Well we do know where he got his eyes, Its just that they haven't put it on film.

Screw that. He got his eyes traversing the corridors and ducts of Butcher's Bay.
A wiseman shined them.
Whether the experience was fate or destiny it doesn't matter. He got them.

The thing is not everyone is a gamer.

As big a fan as I am, I'm still unclear as to how he got his eyes exactly. But I think they're keeping it a somewhat ambiguous and confused issue on purpose. Not sure if he bought 'em for 20 menthol cools or if Shirah endowed him with the abilities (or maybe a combination of the two). Either way, gives the character more mystery. Maybe they're saving it for a larger reveal later on in the series.

Well it happens in the game. And the game was awesome enough to be canon.

I like this. Were his eyes the process of mad doctor surgery or something more in the form of mystical shamanism? We will never know until the question is answered.

In the game the wiseman was living somewhere no human should be able to survive in. High radioactivity and creatures lurking around who had become horrific mutants. And Riddick's descent into the area was personally a sacrificial journey into destiny.

I preferred to accept both possibilities considering in this far future nobody else has been able to mimic this attribute.
And it's not like supernatural occurrences don't exist in this medium with Necromongers and Furyans running around doing what they do.

Yeah, I don't know if they're ever going to reveal the true origin of his eyes. I kind of suspect that there might be a larger reveal and explanation once he becomes more in tune with his Furyan nature. But for now I like the mystery.

Some concept art from Vance Kovacs (Supposedly there's more on his website, but I couldn't find it)...

Just watched the Director's Cut and holy shit-beans it was more like what I was expecting!! It includes a much more appropriate explanation about what happened between Riddick and the Necros. And the ending is MUCH more like what I was expecting as far as a cliffhanger... sooo good. I'll post a couple teasing screencaps real quick...

We're at The Threshold...

I've got one actually.. well imageshack, though. The issue I had was that it usually tells me if the file is too big and I just shrink it down again and reattach, but for some reason it just posted anyway and it wouldn't let me attach anything on the edit. Oh well, you just get extra posts. : )

Loved the fu#king ending to the Director's Cut. Exactly the kind of tease I was hoping for. Great dark, pulp science fiction is what it is... 💃

whos gonna get it on blue ray
