Who wrote Chronicles of Riddick? - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

A photographer friend just asked this and I'm wondering if there was a series of books/comics. I know its the sequel to Pitch Black and its a pretty cool movie.

It was written by David Twohy (who also directed the film)

I don't think it is based on any book series, but there was a prequal video game about Riddick escaping from Butcher Bay and an animated movie (Dark Fury).

Last I heard Vin Diesel was still talking about 2 sequels (It was originally pitched as a trilogy), but that was a couple of years ago and seeing the first film flopped it would be extremely unlikely.

Someone on the other forum just added this

Quote:

Pitch Black was written by Frank Lauria, Chronicles of Riddick was written by Alan Dean Foster. Both AFAIK, were books based on the movies.

So therefore, the answer to your question is No! :smirk:

It's mostly written and directed by David Twohy. I dunno about Dark Fury though. Pitch Black was an excellent film. Dark Fury was a very good animated film. The last, Chronicles of Riddick, sigh, was not a very good film. It was overkill IMHO. Too many holes in the plot concerning the Necromongers. Even the uncut Director's version didn't help. If there's any chance of another sequel, that one had better redeem the series.

The sequel got delayed because he's been doing a movie about Hannibal lately.

Hannibal Rising? That one any good?
