Speaking with MTV, Vin Diesel revealed that screenwriter David Twowy is writing the scripts for not one, but two sequels for The Chronicles of Riddick. Dielsel is confident that the movie(s) will go into production:
“David Twowy right now is writing the scripts. The only question is whether we take a page from the ‘Lord of the Rings’ guys and try to shoot the two chapters at the same time. There are two more in mind,” he said of Riddick, the Furyan warrior first introduced in the 2000 film “Pitch Black.” “‘The Chronicles of Riddick’ was presented as a three part trilogy that would answer ‘Pitch Black’ in the same way that ‘Lord of the Rings’ answered ‘The Hobbit.’”
Dielsel continues to be interested in returning to the franchise:
“Everyone knows I love the Riddick character and I’m always working on it,” Diesel said. “It just takes five years to make another one because David Twohy and I are so precious about it.”
