Fans of Vin Diesel’s Riddick will be happy to hear that the actor is bringing the character back for another chapter in the sci-fi adventure called Furia and that there will also be a TV spin-off series! He made the announcement on Instagram:
“Last night our company had a party to launch our TV division. Merc City is a show that will follow the Mercs and Bounty Hunters of the Riddick Universe. Next Month, Dt begins writing the next Chapter in the Chronicles of Riddick… Furia.”
Dt stands for David Twohy, who is the writer and director of all three of the films in the Riddick franchise - 2000’s Pitch Black, 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2013’s Riddick. He also wrote the two animated Riddick shorts, "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury" and "Riddick: Blindsided."

Opening in theaters on Friday, March 13th is Run All Night. The action thriller stars Oscar nominees Liam Neeson and Ed Harris and is directed of Jaume Collet-Serra (Non-stop).
Brooklyn mobster and prolific hit man Jimmy Conlon (Neeson), once known as The Gravedigger, has seen better days. Longtime best friend of mob boss Shawn Maguire (Harris), Jimmy, now 55, is haunted by the sins of his past—as well as a dogged police detective (Vincent D’Onofrio) who’s been one step behind Jimmy for 30 years. Lately, it seems Jimmy’s only solace can be found at the bottom of a whiskey glass.
But when Jimmy’s estranged son, Mike (Joel Kinnaman), becomes a target, Jimmy must make a choice between the crime family he chose and the real family he abandoned long ago. With Mike on the run, Jimmy’s only penance for his past mistakes may be to keep...

2004 was supposed to be the year of Riddick, at least as far as Universal Studios was concerned. In response to the adamant fan demands for a sequel to the 2000 cult-classic Pitch Black, Universal was attempting to seize an opportunity by building a multi-million dollar franchise out of one the sci-fi slashers surviving characters: Richard B. Riddick, better known as simply “Riddick”.
In an ambitious plan to get the franchise off the ground, Universal launched three different properties that year. The reasonably successful but fiscally disappointing film, The Chronicles of Riddick, launched to the most fanfare but was not received as well as expected. It was paired closely with an animated, straight-to-dvd, prequel titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, which was a mostly unremarkable short that served the task of filling...

"You're not afraid of the dark, are you?"
This year, Vin Diesel will return in theaters as two of his most famous characters, Dom Toretto in May's Fast & Furious 6 and the antihero Riddick in this fall's aptly-titled Riddick. The third installment in the live-action Riddick movies (discounting the animated The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury), Riddick was a labor of love for Diesel and writer-director David Twohy after the box office disappointment that was 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick, but, fortunately, for those that have stuck with the character throughout the movies and video games, Twohy may have figured out a plan that could make the sequel a hit: make it more like 2000's Pitch Black, the movie that got the whole Riddick train moving in the first place.

"Whatever happens no matter what they tell you. don't let 'em take these chains off me," thespian Vin Diesel intones dramatically. Yes, you guessed it, it's the new teaser trailer for "Riddick," the fourth film in the Riddick series after "Pitch Black," "The Chronicles of Riddick," the animated movie "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury" and now, this latest picture. Frankly, it's ridic-ulous that the original films spawned a franchise, but clearly Vin Diesel has loyal fans and an audience is hungering for these sci-fi films to continue. This writer's only seen "Pitch Black," and while it was decent, my interest dropped off with the mentions of sequels that seem just fan and corporate-driven, but perhaps you disagree (wouldn't be the first time). A new brief teaser has arrived and while nothing's moved here, neither upstairs, downstairs or in the soul, perhaps it's just what the intended audience is after.

Following a series of set pictures of Vin Diesel in costume, cameras today started rolling today on his latest project Riddick.
It's the third film in the franchise in which he plays the antihero title character: "A dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy."
Universal Pictures, One Race Films and Radar Pictures announced today that principal photography had begun on the action-driven, sci-fi thriller which was earlier known by the more cumbersome title The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking.

In the past few weeks, Vin Diesel has treated us to the great first and second images of himself on the set of the upcoming third instalment in the Riddick series, Riddick. Continuing his kind stance of sharing the project with us every step of the way (all of which you can catch up on here), he’s treated us to the third image from the set, and it’s a great one.
Giving us a close-up of his face, we can see him wearing his trademark goggles from the first two films, Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, lying close to the ground, and looking pretty roughed up.
Writer-director David Twohy is returning behind the camera for the third film, which has been in development for many years. Collider also have the official updated synopsis for the film, which you can read in full beneath the great new image.

Photo: David Twohy Writer/director David Twohy posted the above piece of art on his blog in a post titled "To the Fans of "Riddick" Everywhere" in which he opened with the following: The hurdles seem to be dropping. The final turn is being rounded. The finish line (actually a starting line) seems closer than ever. What he's referring to is the nearing of a start date on Riddick, the third film in the Riddick franchise, which started with Pitch Black in 2000 and was followed up by The Chronicles of Riddick in 2004, which was also accompanied by a video game titled The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury.
Twohy's post comes following the widely circulated Facebook update Riddick star Vin Diesel posted back on May 24 when he wrote: Grrrr..
[David Twohy] the writer/director just landed in New York with the good news. We can start filming this summer. However, there is a catch.
