Good news for fans of the Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick - a third movie may be on the way.
Riddick helmer David Twohy told ShockTillYouDrop that he and franchise star Vin Diesel have been talking regularly about a sequel.
He said that they had sketched out two ideas for a sequel, and that a studio had expressed an interest in the project if it became a PG-13 film.
Twohy said however; "We don't want to do that anymore. That's one of the concessions we thought we made with The Chronicles of Riddick that we shouldn't have made."
Instead he said they wanted to make the third movie more similar in tone to the franchise opener. "If we do go back to a third one, it will be focused again, hopefully again the same way that Pitch Black was, and we'll spend less money doing it. We're just trying to figure out how much less we can do it for, because I don't think Vin is going to work for scale again."
Twohy said we should expect a Riddick-centred, scaled-back production that focuses on character dynamics again.
"Was [Pitch Black] a creature feature? It had the hallmarks of it, the trappings of a creature movie, but it also had pretty good characters."

Looks like you just might get your wish, Urge.
