Twohy posted the following on his official site:
“The finish line (actually a starting line) seems closer than ever. Of course, there are no guarantees in this mad endeavor called ‘filmmaking,’ a pursuit that is a pricey shotgun marriage between business and art. But we’ve reached a critical mass of enthusiasm and resource needed to launch a movie. If we go now, we can make it now. If we don’t, we may never. And trust me, we’re all keenly aware of that.”
I loved Pitch Black. For all the shortcomings, I warmed up to Chronicles Of Riddick, save for some hokey FX and campy acting from otherwise decent actors, but you can’t beat the ‘kill you with the teacup’ line. But nobody at Universal or thier subsidary arms seem to be knocking down anyone’s doors for a third film. I’m still pulling for Diesel and Twohy. Really I am…but maybe it should be another film unrelated to Riddick-verse. It’s not that I want to…I am a fan of both for the most part…but I have be a bit on a skeptic side here.
Wouldn’t you be?
