Where’s Twohy’s next?

You probably know writer-director David Twohy as the (non-bald) guy behind PITCH BLACK and CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, but he also made a thriller called THE PERFECT GETAWAY.

You may not have heard of it because it’s apparently been drifting in limbo, but Twohy gives an update at his site: “The new movie won’t be released March 14 as I’d suggested earlier. Which is a bad news/good news tale – with an emphasis on the latter. See, once upon a time, [the movie] was going to be an MGM release, and March 14 was the date that worked for that studio’s release schedule. But recently Universal saw the movie, liked its upside, and made a successful bid to cherry-pick it away from MGM. Which is fine by me, since I’ve done two releases with the folks at Uni — PITCH BLACK and RIDDICK.”

Twohy says an August release is now likely. The movie features Milla Jovovich (above) and Steve Zahn, whose Hawaiian honeymoon becomes a nightmare when they’re menaced by killer couple Timothy Olyphant and Kiele Sanchez.

And as for the aforementioned RIDDICK, the intergalactic badass himself, Vin Diesel, gave an update on a third flick while while promoting the upcoming ASSAULT ON DARK ATHENA videogame in a recent Gamespot interview: “Maybe we’ve been too tight-lipped about the movie, and you’ll probably hear a lot more about it as this game is released. I think we were so adamant about knocking this game out of the park that we’ve been doing a lot of late hours — the overtime’s on the game at the moment while David Twohy is finishing up the next script.”
