It’s been a long time coming, but Vin Diesel has finally gotten another Riddick movie off the ground. David Twohy is involved again too, and as he did with the first two films he’ll write and direct. The difference this time around is that they’ll ditch all the galactic implications which muddied up the first movie and do something more stripped down, something more like the first movie Pitch Black, something which focuses more specifically on the character of Riddick.
Here’s how Variety explains it:
Vin Diesel is going back to the future to topline and produce a third chapter in the “Chronicles of Riddick” franchise.
Universal will handle domestic distribution on the sci-fi film, which is titled “Riddick.” Lionsgate is selling international rights at the Berlin Film Festival.
David Twohy — who wrote and directed the first two films in the series, “Pitch Black” and “The Chronicles of Riddick” — will helm from a screenplay he penned.
