Posted on February 15, 2010

Vin Diesel has been confirmed to star in and produce a third installment installment in the "Chronicles of Riddick" franchise, according to reports from Variety.

Universal Pictures will handle domestic distribution and Lionsgate is currently selling international rights.

David Twohy will direct again from a screenplay he wrote. Twohy wrote and directed both Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.

The third film is expected to be closer in tone to that of Pitch Black and will focus on the character of Riddick as opposed to the universe he inhabits.
