[Monday, February 17th, 2003]
Judi Dench is in final talks to star opposite Vin Diesel in the Pitch Black sequel - Chronicles of Riddick, says Hollywood Reporter.

Written and directed by David Twohy, the project begins production in Vancouver in April. At the same time, Colm Feore has come aboard to play the lead villain in the movie, which is about an intergalactic prisoner named Riddick who has the ability to see in the dark. In the sequel, Riddick, now a hunted man, finds himself in the middle of two opposing forces in a major crusade.

Feore will play Lord Marshal, a warrior priest who is the leader of a sect that is waging the 10th and perhaps final crusade 500 years in the future. Dench will play Aereon, an ambassador from the Elemental race. She is an ethereal being who helps Riddick unearth his origins.
