It’s actually a full ten years since we saw Vin Diesel in the role of Richard B. Riddick in the rather mediocre film Riddick, and already shortly after the premiere, there was talk of a fourth installment in the series. But no one has come, even though there have been rumors about it from time to time.
Now reporting though Deadline that the ball is finally set in motion. Series creator David Twohy will once again write the script and direct, while Diesel himself is eager to be Riddick again. Twohy comments:
“Our legion of fans have demanded it for years, and now we’re finally ready to honor their call-to-action with Riddick: Furya. My collaboration with Vin and One Race has spanned 20 fruitful years, as together we’ve created three movies, two video games, an anime production, and motion comics for the internet. This new big-screen event will see a return to Riddick’s homeworld, where we finally get to explore Riddick’s genesis.”
The movie should be called Riddick: Fury and lets us accompany Riddick to his home planet. We guess we can look forward to some serious macho action, lots of violence and great sci-fi. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that the magic of Pitch Black and the game The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay can be recreated again.
