THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK on Blu-ray

Vin Diesel (XXX, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS) stars in this electrifying special-effects-fueled action spectacular from Universal Studios Home Ent. After years of outrunning ruthless bounty hunters, escaped convict Riddick suddenly finds himself caught between opposing forces in a fight for the future of the human race. Now, waging incredible battles on fantastic and deadly worlds, this lone, reluctant hero will emerge as humanity's champion -- and the last hope for a universe on the edge of annihilation.

To supervise the ambitious vfx work on THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, director David Twohy tapped Peter Chiang, who had overseen the visual effects on his two previous movies, PITCH BLACK and BELOW. Originally, about 600 effects shots were planned with three facilities evenly sharing the workload: Double Negative, Rhythm & Hues and Hammerhead. Ultimately, the movie ended up featuring more than 800 effects shots.

One hundred and forty of these shots were created by Double Negative under the supervision of Tom Debenham and Jesper Kjolsrud. "There was one sequence that was pretty complex from a conceptual point of view," Kjolsrud says. "The bad guy, whose name is Lord Marshal (Colm Feore), has the power to send his astral body in a direction and to project himself very quickly in its trail. During his climactic fight with Riddick, it gives him the ability to strike at light speed while avoiding being hit. It took us a very long time to develop a look for this effect. In fact, we were still refining it six weeks before the film's release."
