In 2016, then, Vin Diesel revealed that a fourth part of the film series, titled, ‘Furya’ was in works. Nevertheless, it’s nice to see that there’s still movement in the franchise – and hopefully David Twohy, Vin Diesel, and everyone else involved will present us with a new entry worth celebrating. [2] In North America, the film opened to number one in its first weekend, with $19,030,375. This can also be seen in the way he has been invested in the project over the years, and him eventually revealing the script to his friends. Five years after Kyra's death, Riddick has become increasingly uneasy in his role as Lord Marshal of the Necromonger fleet. I know what that movie looks like, I’ve talked it out. According to We Got This Covered, the new Riddick film isn’t just completely written – but that the plan is to shoot the new movie sometime 2020. © 2020 Cinemaholic Inc. All rights reserved. In November 2009, shortly after Twohy had finished the script, he announced that pre-production work was underway. Riddick later steals power nodes from each of the teams' ships and approaches Johns and Santana to strike a deal for their return. Produced by and starring Vin Diesel as the title character, Riddick is written and directed by David Twohy, who previously wrote and directed the first two installments, Pitch Black (2000) and The Chronicles of Riddick (2004). It has all the right notes, it’s a great movie.

However, the conversation turns into an ambush as Dahl shoots Riddick with several rounds of horse tranquilizer, and Riddick's hyena-beast is shot and killed by Santana. Director/ Writer At the film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a 57% approval rating based on 168 reviews, with an average score of 5.3/10. [8] On February 9, 2010, Diesel confirmed in an update on his Facebook page that one of the locations used in the upcoming sequel would be the White Desert in Farafra, Egypt. Another aspect that the sequel will potentially dive into would be the relationship that Riddick and Vaako share, from being rivals to allies. That movie was a hit, grossing $53 million off a $23 million budget. It was the beginning of a new millennium, the world was definitely a better place, and David Twohy’s ‘Pitch Black’, became a game-changer for Vin Diesel and all action lovers. It was the actor’s breakthrough leading role that turned him into an action superstar, and of course, the rest is history. There are rumors that the filming will finally commence this year. The fourth part would probably also explore how and why Riddick left the planet, and what’s his role now.
