Little details have been released alongside the announcement but the Riddick actor did confirm that David Twohy has started work on the third sequel in the Chronicle of Riddick anthology.
The character of Riddick spawn from the sci-fi horror film Pitch Black directed by Twohy and released in 2000. The film saw a handful of misfit humans crash land on a seemingly lifeless desert planet only for them to start being hunted by alien monsters that crave the dark.
