A third film is being lined up by David Twohy (Who directed both Pitch Black and The Chronciles of Riddick)  to continue the Riddick franchise featuring the star man – Vin Diesel.

Gamers will be well aware that the story of Riddick has continued through the games Escape from Butcher Bay and Assault On Dark Athena but Twohy has confirmed talks are underway speaking exclusively to BloodyDisgusting.com:

“I’ve sketched out two ideas for continuing RIDDICK, one of which Vin and I have settled in on.”

“At the studio level, it would have to be a PG-13 movie again and we don’t want to do that again. We want an R, so we are looking at the possibility of setting it up as an independent movie and selling it territory by territory and thereby keeping an ownership stake in the movie. But we’re trying to see what that would yield in this unsafe market…”

“So we’re trying to figure out what that number is and if we can make the movie that we want to make for that number. It’s a complicated formula.”

That’s a Riddick film that’ll end up being R rated (or an 18 if you live in Britain) … Awesome!!! That’s assuming that all the fans are old enough to get into see it…
