In an interview with Shock Til You Drop 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 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, although amazing, did tackle a bit too much material, I'm happy to see that Vin and Twohy are focused and ready to deliver. Read the rest of the interview over at Shock Til You Drop.

In an interview with Sci Fi Wire Vin Diesel spilled a few introductory details as to where we will find our favorite Furyan.

We're going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him...So you'll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive.

Wait: a First Blood Riddick? That's exactly what I want. Thank you, Twohy, for delivering exactly what we were looking for: big bad uglies and Riddick, kicking ass and delivering one-liners. I'm almost okay with not talking about the Necromongers at all, if you have our boy slaying baddies with a tube of bubble-gum flavored lip gloss. (Thank you, Grey Area.)

In an interview with Game Spot about his latest Riddick video game, Diesel spilled the beans about the next Riddick project:

Maybe we're too tight-lipped about the next Chronicles of Riddick film, and I think circa the release of [Dark Athena] that's probably when you'll start hearing more about the next Riddick film. It is underway, and I almost think it's a coincidence that we haven't heard anything, that there hasn't been a lot of public stuff on the Riddick movie....

I think we were so adamant about knocking this game out of the park that we've been doing a lot of late hours—the overtime's on the game at the moment while [Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick screenwriter] David Twohy is finishing up the next script.

Well I'm glad that Twohy is back, because he really needs to come back and put out another Riddick that makes sense the first time around - even though I cherish every single moment that bald brute is on screen. But what will it be about? Will we get to see the Necromonger verse, is he still the Furyian leader, smelling beautiful and playing "who's the better killer"? What about his past, which has been shrouded in mystery for some time?

In any case, I'm delighted, because Riddick news means I get to post this clip:

Death By Tea Cup! So what should Riddick kill someone with in this film?

Looks like Diesel and Twohy are looking for a big picture deal with their new Riddick franchise. Vin Diesel told MTV:

David Twohy 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... 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.

I'm for it, as long as Twohy address the hella confusing mythology that revolved around the Necromongers. I loved the Underverse, but I didn't really understand where they were going with the whole undead alien race who can die. Last we left off, Riddick was running the show as ruler of the Necromongers, or at least one shipfull. [MTV]
