From The Archives: Vin Diesel – The Chronicles of Riddick0

by Daniel Robert Epstein

“A lot of people say they love what they do, but I really, really love what I do, to the point where I’’m borderline obsessed with what I do.”
– Vin Diesel

When the theatrical version of The Chronicles of Riddick was released this past summer it was considered a failure and another nail in the coffin of Vin Diesel’’s action movie career. But today Universal Studios Home Video has released the Unrated Director’’s Cut of The Chronicles of Riddick on DVD. It adds 15 minutes of footage back into the film mostly of a mystical character named Shirah, giving Riddick knowledge, a lot more violence and amazing extras such as Vin himself showing us around Riddick’’s most impressive sets.

I got a chance to talk with Vin about the DVD. Vin, in person, is a lot more charming than Riddick. He’’s just wonderful, relaxed and a lot of fun. He was a bit late but the fantastic Universal publicity team calmed us down by tossing DVDs at us.
