David Twohy Talks The Next RIDDICK Movie And CRYING HAVOC

Director David Twohy talked to Shocktilyoudrop.com about his plans for the next RIDDICK movie starring Vin Diesel who by the way has been wanting RIDDICK 3 and 4 to happen since for a while. Seems like he’s learned the lesson from the second movie that flopped.

“I’ve sketched out two ideas for the next installment,”
“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. We also spent too much money and we were too ambitions, so yes, if we do go back to a third one, it will be focused again, hopefully again the same way that ‘Pitch Black’ was, and we’ll spend less money doing it.

“The third movie would be more modestly-scaled and it would probably feel more like ‘Pitch Black’ than ‘Chronicles’,”

The first movie, Pitch Black,was released back in 2000 had the production cost of $23 Million but only earned about $39 Million in domestic box office.
and the second movie, the lame and boring The Chronicles of Riddick back in 2004 had the production cost of $105 Million and only earned about $57 Million in domestic box office.
And there were also the animated movie Dark Fury and the video game

Twohy also revealed that he’s interested in working on CRYING HAVOC produced by Ridley Scott and this is the plot…

“It is about an FBI Agent who uses technology to track a spy around the world, only to learn that the spy is more demon than human, and that demon leads him into the lower circles of Hell, psychologically speaking. That’s a cool one, and it hopefully has the same visual prowess of a movie like ‘Constantine’ but a hopefully more coherent script. That’s in the works and that may be next.”
