Potential ‘Riddick’ Sequel in the Works?

Riddick-2-SmallDirector David Twohy (of ‘Pitch Black’ and ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ fame) has commented on his official website about a potential sequel to 2004’s ‘Chronicles of Riddick.’

Comingsoon.net gives us this:

Okay, okay, now on to the really important stuff like “What the f**k is happening with RIDDICK?” Yes, I get your emails demanding another movie; yes, I keep bumping into you guys in airports and at conventions and I take your pleas to heart. All I can say now is “We’re talking about it.” The DVD numbers were really good – we know that, and some potential financiers know that. But if another movie surfaces, it probably won’t be a Universal movie and probably will be an independent movie. Which means we’ll have to make it for substantially less than the last installment. But that’s okay. PITCH BLACK was $22 million all in. Maybe it’s time to go back to our roots – as we go on to The UnderVerse.

Do we REALLY need a sequel to this inferior installment? ‘Pitch Black’ was kick-ass, but then the higher budgeted sequel was an extreme bore-fest in my opinion. I remember seeing this movie on a double date. My friend’s date fell asleep, my date was swearing under his breath more than a person with Tourettes, and my friend and I chewed some nasty gum simply to STAY AWAKE until the end of the film.

‘Pitch Black’ was a great movie full of scares and had potential to become a successful franchise. ‘Chronicles of Riddick’ really destroyed all hope in that for me.

However, the fact that David Twohy hints at going back to the first film’s roots, is a little relieving, although I still won’t be marking this future film’s release date on my calendar.
