Seeing as how Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena is coming out within a couple of a weeks, word of a movie comes as no surprise. Vin Diesel himself is hyping it up, saying that a third movie featuring the Pitch Black character is in the works.

"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," said Diesel to Gamespot.

The actor confirmed that David Twohy is finishing up the script. Assault on Dark Athena is a two-part video game – the first part is a remake of the first shooter Escape from Butcher Bay, and the second is a whole new sequel that extends the storyline further.
