The Chronicles Of Riddick (2004) / Riddicks Krøniker

Following the sleeper success of their breakthrough sci-fi/horror smash Pitch Black, writer-director David Twohy and star Vin Diesel reunited for 2004's action-packed The Chronicles of Riddick, an expansive and ambitious sequel that took their eponymous antihero to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.Riddick (Diesel) is an intergalactic fugitive whose dark past catches up with him when he is lured out of hiding by Imam (Keith David, The Thing), another survivor of the planet of horrors they barely escaped from five years earlier. Now out of the shadows, Riddick is identified by an ethereal emissary (Academy Award winner Dame Judi Dench) as the descendant of an ancient race of warriors who may be the universe's last hope against the Necromongers, an evil army of fanatics intent on bending the world to their will. As enemies close in on all sides, including the ruthless Lord Marshal (Colm Feore, Thor) and his scheming lieutenant Vaako (Karl Urban, The Boys), Riddick finds himself a reluctant saviour of the cosmos, with only his razor-sharp wits and cunning killer instinct standing in the way of total annihilation.At long last, Twohy and Diesel's hard-hitting outer-space epic has been restored in glorious 4K, with hours of incisive bonus features exploring every detail of this densely-constructed and masterfully-executed mythology.4K ULTRA HD LIMITED EDITION CONTENTSBrand new 4K restorations by Arrow Films of the Theatrical and Director's Cuts of the film, approved by David TwohyOriginal DTS-HD MA 5.1 surround audio on both cuts, plus remixed Dolby Atmos for the Theatrical CutOptional English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing on both cutsReversible sleeve featuring newly commissioned artwork by Dan MumfordIllustrated collectors' booklet featuring new writing on the film by Walter Chaw, original production notes and the "Chronicles Compendium", an overview of the characters and planets featured in the filmDISC ONE4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Theatrical Cut from the original negativeAmbition on Another Scale: Chronicling a Blockbuster Sequel, a brand-new feature-length documentary on the film, featuring interviews with interviews with writer-director David Twohy, actors Keith David and Linus Roache, storyboard artist Brian Murray, concept artist Matt Codd, miniature effects artist Ian Hunter and digital matte artist Dylan ColeRealizing Riddick, a new interview with Twohy on the creation of the characterBack to Black, a new interview with Murray on his continuing work within the Riddick sagaChronicles of a Cult Film Celebrity, a new interview with David on the role of ImamTheatrical trailersDISC TWO4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Director's CutArchive audio commentary by David Twohy and Vin DieselArchive audio commentary by Twohy and co-stars Karl Urban and Alexa DavelosArchive introduction by TwohyCreation of New Mecca, an archive featurette focusing on the world and characters of Helion PrimeRiddick Rises, an archive featurette focusing on the prison planet of CrematoriaKeep What You Kill, an archive featurette focusing on the world of the NecromongersVisual Effects Revealed, an archive featurette focusing on the VFXInteractive Production Calendar, a series of short, candid videos filmed throughout shootingProduction Vignettes, a series of short behind-the-scenes segmentsThree deleted scenesVirtual Guide to the Chronicles of Riddick, a series of short animated segments explaining the world of the filmToombs' Chase Log, a short film narrated by Nick Chinlund in characterA guided tour of the set by Vin Diesel, along with 360-degree panoramic views of eight sets from the filmOn-set interviews with Twohy, Diesel, Dench, Urban, Colm Feore, Alexa Davelos, Thandie Newton and producer Scott KroopfPromotional interviews with Twohy, Diesel, Newton, Urban, Davelos and FeoreEaster eggDISC THREE (LIMITED EDITION EXCLUSIVE)4K (2160p) UHD Blu-ray presentation in Dolby Vision (HDR10 compatible) of the Theatrical Cut in the alternate 1.78:1 aspect ratioEscape from Butcher Bay, a compilation of cutscenes from the acclaimed tie-in video gameThe Lowdown, a television special produced to promote the film's original release
