News culture Leave Fast & Furious, Vin Diesel will direct the fourth film in a sci-fi saga that defined the genre!
We obviously know Vin Diesel for his involvement in the Fast & Furious saga, but also in the Ridick license: fans of the latter rejoice, there is excellent news for them.
Another family
Vin Diesel is obviously very well known for his sense of family in Fast & Furious, one of his favorite sagas. However, there is something else that propelled his career: “The Chronicles of Riddick”, a science fiction saga that finally became famous and whose first feature film (originally called “Pitch Black”) saw the light of day in 2004 world saw. The story follows Ridick, a merciless killer who crash lands on a fearsome planet about to plunge into a mysterious solar eclipse. Well, a lot happens in three films, but Let’s say the whole thing is appreciated for its photography, its adult tone, its dark atmosphere and a universe with some potential.
The latter also gave rise to a real franchise with animated short films, animated comics, a novel and even two video games. The third film, simply titled “Riddick,” comes from 2013 For more than a decade we have been waiting eagerly for a fourth part, the preparation of which we have been assured for some time. But this time it’s the right one: Riddick 4 faces a crucial first step.
Ridick and Morty
So it’s official and Variety has relayed the announcement: Production on Riddick 4, to be called Riddick: Furya, will begin in August 2024. Filming is primarily planned in Germany, Europe and Great Britain.
The film will (unsurprisingly) focus on the plot of Furya, the homeworld of Riddick, who will make his comeback there. At least that’s what was announced when the film was announced ten years ago. Note that the work is again directed by David Twohy, who also serves as screenwriter. On the production side, it was Vin Diesel who starred through his company One Race Films along with other producers such as Joe Nerauter, Samantha Vincent, Thorsten Schumacher and Lars Sylvest.
Now we just have to wait for a release date or even just a specific window. We are also patiently waiting for the casting.
