About 10 years ago a relatively unknown actor, by the name of Vin Diesel, starred in a scifi/horror movie about a group of stranded travelers on a planet where hungry giant bat like creatures come out to feed in the middle of the night. Four years later that same character comes back to fight a race of conquerors who have a unhealthy obsession with death. And so... The Chronicles Of Riddick began. But, it seems to have stopped there. Well kids talk has been resurfacing again at the return of Richard B Riddick and all of his night vision 'badassery'.
A few years back rumors circled the internet about Riddick coming back for 2 more movies making the Necromonger saga a trilogy. Vin Diesel states on his Facebook page today that 2 possible names have been tossed out by movie execs for the next chapters in The Chronicles. The names thrown out there are The Underverse and The Furyan... not terribly creative titles but at least it proves that serious talks are underway to keep this franchise going on the big screen.
Vin also goes on to say
The Riddick discussion is about rating now…
Though Hollywood likes their PG Ratings, the next chapter in the COR series was always envisioned as an R rating, like Pitch Black…
One Studio exec suggested doing both “The Underverse” and “The Furyan”, (working titles) at the same time, allowing us an R rating for the first and a PG rating for the second.
The good news- David Twohy’s script comes in next month.
I for one cant wait to see what they come up with. I really loved Pitch Black and I also thought Chronicles Of Riddick was epically amazing. And correct me if I am wrong but these are original movies that weren't a property anywhere else prior... and that is exactly what Hollywood needs more of, ORIGINAL CONTENT!
So there you have it. Twohy, Diesel and the studios are talking more about Riddick. Hopefully it wont be too long until we get another film. What do you think about all of this?

Chronicles of Riddick was a good movie but it reminded me too much of a futuristic Conan Movie. A badass warrior who later bcomes king. It was good. But it could have been better.
