Vin Diesel Will Star In a New ‘Riddick’ Movie

A fourth Riddick movie is formally prepared for manufacturing.

By way of a press launch, Vin Diesel introduced right this moment that he was returning to star in and produce a brand new entry within the long-running Riddick sci-fi collection, this one titled Riddick: Furya. It’s the first movie within the franchise in over a decade, since 2013’s Riddick. (That movie was preceded by 2000’s Pitch Black and 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick.)

In all the films, Diesel performs Richard Riddick, an alien outlaw with the flexibility to see in the dead of night. Just like the earlier movies, this one will likely be written and directed by David Twohy.

Right here is how the brand new movie is described within the press launch:

In Riddick: Furya, Riddick lastly returns to his homeworld, a spot he barely remembers and one he fears is likely to be left in ruins. However there he finds different Furyans combating for his or her existence towards a brand new monster. And a few of these Furyans are extra like Riddick than he might have ever imagined.

What’s enjoyable concerning the Riddick films is that whereas all of them star Diesel as this character, each has nearly been a unique style than the others. The primary was like an Alien film; deep-space survival horror. The second film was like an area epic, nearly Star Wars-y blended with extra fantasy components. The third film was nearly a slasher film — with Riddick himself within the function of the slasher. I hope that development continues and Furya is, like a home drama about Riddick and these different Furyans.

The movie is ready to enter manufacturing in Europe on the finish of August. No official launch date for the film has been introduced but.
