Riddick 3 goes back to basics

Last week it was announced that Vin Diesel and David Twohy would be reuniting for a third cinematic adventure with Riddick, the intergalactic convict.

Now, The Hollywood Reporter has uncovered the following plot description for the movie...

Barren planet? Trisons? Jetcycles? Could this possibly be the best plotline ever conceived? Well, no, but there’s no denying it ticks all kinds of ‘awesome sci-fi movie’ boxes – a sort of cross breed of the first Pitch Black with Alien and Smokin’ Aces .

David Twohy wrote and directed the first two Riddick films, and has long talked about wanting to return to the franchise. Now that he’s been given the chance, it sounds like he knows exactly what he’s doing.

Excited for more Riddick?
