FILM 1354: PITCH BLACK
TRIVIA: The contact lenses Vin Diesel wore in the
movie, while a prototype during production, were briefly available to the
public from Lens Quest following the release of the film. They were called
Shine Job, like in the movie.
The contacts that Vin Diesel wore to play
Riddick were a prototype. After the first day of filming, when they tried to
remove the contact lenses, they couldn't. Due to where they were filming, they
had to have an optometrist flown in from the nearest town, three hours away.
Diesel called the contacts hubcaps.
In one of the shots showing cargo
pods being jettisoned from the ship before the crash, one of the pods is
numbered '2E', a jokey reference to the director's name ('Dave Twohy') from the
effects crew.
Although Riddick narrates the
beginning of the story, his first dialogue with another character (Carolyn)
does not occur until almost thirty minutes into the movie.
