David Twohy, writer/director of The Chronicles of Riddick tells us at his blog, that there is still hope of for a sequel.  This is what he had to say.

Okay, okay, now on to the really important stuff like “What the fuck is happening with RIDDICK?”  Yes, I get your emails demanding another movie; yes, I keep bumping into you guys in airports and at conventions and I take your pleas to heart.  All I can say now is “We’re talking about it.”  The DVD numbers were really good – we know that, and some potential financiers know that.  But if another movie surfaces, it probably won’t be a Universal movie and probably will be an independent movie.  Which means we’ll have to make it for substantially less than the last installment.  But that’s okay.  PITCH BLACK was $22 million all in.  Maybe it’s time to go back to our roots – as we go on to The UnderVerse.

First off, David Twohy has actully done a few films, between writing and directing that I liked.  You can see he's profile at IMDB.  I'm one of the small amounts of people that actually liked Chronicles.  I really did, I thought it was so cool.  That said, I always wanted a sequel and I'm glad that one is up in the air.  The fact that it would be an independent film is a bit unnerving, only becuase the budget would be tremendously low.  Even so, I hope it gets made.
