David Twohy‘s 2000 film Pitch Black was our introduction to Vin Diesel as an action star, and the actor of course went on reprise the role of monster-killer Richard B. Riddick in 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick and most recently, 2013’s Riddick. Talks of a fourth film began way back in 2014, with Universal reportedly interested in making another film at that time.
That planned fourth movie, last we heard, is titled Riddick 4: Furya, and we do know that it has already been penned by Twohy. So what’s the latest on all that, you ask?
It’s been a couple years since Vin Diesel has spoken publicly about Riddick 4, but he breaks the silence in a new chat with Games Radar this week. It’s still coming, he promises.
“David Twohy, he wrote a great script. It’s just a matter of timing when we get that opportunity to shoot that,” Diesel tells the outlet. “But I believe we’re shooting that in Australia. And it would be the fourth chapter in that series, which would be awesome.”
In addition to a fourth movie, a new video game could also be coming soon.
Diesel explains, “We did have great success with Escape From Butcher Bay. It feels like an eternity ago now. But, I imagine that we would take advantage of the gaming space and add an extra chapter. But definitely, the [movie’s] script is already written. So it’s safe to say that we are moving towards filming the fourth chapter of Riddick.”
