Riddick returns for a 3rd film

Riddick director David Twohy gave the world an update on the eagerly anticipated third Riddick movie. The good news is, both Twohy and Vin aren’t settling for any PG-13 nonsense, and the new film will be closer to Pitch Black.
In an interview Director, Twohy explained what we have to look forward to, besides more glorious, graphic bloodshed.
“Vin and I have decided on one approach of those two, and there’s some interest at the studio level but it would be as a PG-13 film, and we don’t want to do that anymore. That’s one of the concessions we thought we made with ‘Riddick’ that we shouldn’t have made….The third movie would be more modestly-scaled and it would probably feel more like Pitch Black than Chronicles [of Riddick]. It will always be Riddick-centric.”
And he says the film will focus more on the characters and how they deal with their tense situation, the same way Pitch Black did.
There’s nothing more refreshing than reading a director talk about something everyone is super excited about, with actual insight and self-awareness. Chronicles of Riddick, although amazing, did tackle a bit too much material and left you a little confuse about certain characters and events, but I’m happy to see that Vin and Twohy are focused and ready to deliver. And it is about time they did another Riddick movie anyway, and it seems with all these comic book based movies cluttering the big screen now a days – that they keep getting better and better for the most part – so I anticipate the best out of this upcoming movie for the 3rd rendition of the Riddick series.
