Vin Diesel's RIDDICK: FURYA Will Start Production This Summer
Vin Diesel’s fourth Riddick movie, Riddick: Furya, is scheduled to officially start on August 26th, and will shoot in Germany, Spain, and the UK.
Diesel has been teasing this movie for years, and now it looks like it’s actually going to get made with franchise writer and director David Twohy back at the helm.
Diesel will reprise his role as the anti-hero Richard B. Riddick, a dangerous escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the galaxy.
In Riddick: Furya, “Riddick finally returns to his home world, a place he barely remembers and one he fears might be left in ruins. But there he finds other Furyans fighting for their existence against a new monster. And some of these Furyans are more like Riddick than he could have ever imagined.”
Diesel previously shared the tagline for the movie, which is: “Everyone wants to be a beast, until it’s time to do what real beasts do."
Twohy previously said in a statement: “Our legion of fans have demanded it for years, and now we’re finally ready to honor their call-to-action with Riddick: Furya.”
He added: “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.”
I’ve enjoyed the films in the Riddick franchise and I’m looking forward to seeing how this next chapter of Riddick’s story plays out.
