No. This is after he makes a deal with the aliens to stop polluting the world's oceans.
isnt that the movie where the aliens had their city built over a big chunk of Unobtanium?

To my knowledge it follows Chronicles of Riddick chronologically, yes. There's an "animated" short film linked earlier in the thread that is supposed to lead into the movie.

Costs get kept down for a LOT of other reasons than actors. Sets, costumes, cgi, music, these all cost way more than the actors unless you're going with the best. You can go film on some random backlot for 1 million or pay 40-80 million to use the new London sets like Star Wars, Avengers, etc...
Explained to someone the other day that Kick Ass 2 cost less than 15 million dollars to make (the film itself), they spent as much or more on advertising and promotions than they did on the movie bringing the total cost to something around 30m.

I think you read what I wrote a little too quickly. I wasn't suggesting that Vin not paying himself is what kept costs down or even that using certain actors were what kept costs down. I'm saying that when an individual has a vested interest in making sure the budget is low because it's coming directly from his wallet that, lo and behold, films are kept within [a tiny] budget.
As I haven't seen the movie, it's possible that the special effects are done in crayon. That would help the budget stay pretty reasonable too.
Yeah, the Director's Cut of Chronicles is one of those where it's night and day between it and the cinema cut. I saw the director's cut first, went "So why did people hate this, then?" then saw the original version a while later: "Oh,that'swhy"

I've never seen the director's cut and just picked it up. Looking forward to watching this if that's how you feel about it because I even enjoyed the cinema cut.
