David Thohy, helmer of The Chronicles of Riddick, has spoken briefly on the status of a sequel. “[Sequels are] still a possibility, but many eyes are watching this DVD release very closely. ‘We know what the macro arc is,’ and if we were fortunate enough to be successful in this one we knew where we would pick up in the next one.”
He continues, “We had it in our minds and there are certain setups in The Chronicles of Riddick for future films, including the Shirah character who now appears in the [directo’s cut DVD], a character who did not make it into the theatrical version at all. We would talk a lot about the Underverse — this being the sort of collision of Heaven and Hell for the Necromonger empire — and what that all is, and we’d venture across it…if we had the opportunity to continue the story we would surely like to go there”
