Riddick has to go to the underverse in the sequel. The story would probably have a Pitch Black theme/feel to it. Since I liked all of the Riddick movies, long fight scenes are just fine for me. I hope the sequel is a success. If I was famous or rich, I would give Vin Diesel lets say 2-4 million to make the movie as long as he cast me and made a character for me.

Well I could do without LONG fight scenes, but if he finds Carolyn Fry still alive on that planet, I'll put up with anything. It's been years and I still can't believe they killed her off from the original movie.
