According to Variety, Vin Diesel is finally going back to the future to topline and produce a third chapter in the "Chronicles of Riddick" franchise.
Universal will handle domestic distribution on the sci-fi film, which is titled "Riddick." Lionsgate is selling international rights at the Berlin Film Festival.
David Twohy -- who wrote and directed the first two films in the series, "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick" -- will helm from a screenplay he penned.
Plot details are being kept under wraps. But insiders say the third outing will hew closer in tone to the cult hit "Pitch Black" and will focus on the character of Riddick as opposed to the universe he inhabits, which was the case with the critically panned "Chronicles of Riddick." Still, "Chronicles of Riddick" earned $116 million worldwide and spawned a successful vidgame series.
Dates are being worked out for "Riddick" so as not to overlap with Universal's fifth installment of "Fast and Furious," which will shoot sometime this year with Diesel onboard to star and produce.

| Good to know what the title is! I've been following Vin's facebook page, and he has confirmed that two of the locations for the film are New Zealand and Egypt's White Desert. Definitely looking forward to the return of Riddick to the big screen!

Yeah, I guess Riddick is gonna turn that white desert into a dark, bloody desert ^^
It will be interesting to see if "Riddick" is just the working title for now or the real title. And also if any other characters from TCOR will return, besides Riddick.

Thanks! I just wanted to post that ^^
Interesting! I guess Vaako or someone else tried to take the throne after the end of the last film, but Riddick survived the attack. Because it's not supposed to ignore Chronicles...

| Here's to hoping that there's a game that bridges the the films. That's if they are not going to the Underverse which it doesn't apeear they are.

| I'm seeing this story blast all over my Google Alerts for the past couple days, looks like the initial hype is starting to ramp up. How fitting: today is the 10th anniversary of the original Pitch Black release!
