Since then all other media in the series has borne the "Chronicles of Riddick" branding. Into Pitch Black is a Sci-Fi channel special which aired before Pitch Black, and was about lawmen investigating Riddick's past as well as an investigation into the crash of the Hunter Gratzner (the spaceship from Pitch Black). It is a rarity now, and is only available on Region 2 copies of the Pitch Black DVD.

It shows several inconsistencies with the official storyline, and might be possibly retconned by the other movies and video games.
