Riddick: Furya Filming Begins
Talking about The Chronicles of Riddick, it’s almost like the franchise is our fascinating, slightly weird cousin that keeps surprising us at family reunions. This highly intriguing sci-fi series, despite never clinching that ‘cult classic mainstream’ badge, boasts a stubborn fanbase. Let’s not forget, it thrust Vin Diesel into the starry realms of Hollywood.
Two Brothers, One Zigzagging Antihero
Concocted by the Wheat brothers, Ken and Jim, the franchise unfurls the story of 28th-century bad boy turned antihero Riddick. Since the smoke cleared in 2000 with the debut, we’ve been treated to three movies and a quirky animated short.
Look Who’s Back
Diesel fans, rejoice! Our man will reprise his character in Riddick: Furya, the upcoming fourth movie. Cameras started whirring this month and the news sent a wave of excitement through die-hard Riddick fans. To keep the fire burning, we’re sharing some behind-the-scenes photos.
A Stroll Down Memory Lane
Foreseeing your questions, Riddick: Furya is the fourth addition to the big-screen saga. It all began with the cult-favorite Pitch Black, which hit our screens back in 2000. Following up, The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) and Riddick (2013) filled up the theaters. And who can forget the animated mini-adventure The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury (2004) where Diesel graced us with his voice acting skills?
Taking Over the Reins
After the animated blip, David Thowy wrestled the series from Wheat Brothers. Lucky us, he’s returning to both write and direct Riddick: Furya. Here’s Thowy dropping us some teasers:
“Our legion fans demanded a return for years and we’re finally about to grant their wishes with Riddick: Furya. Together with Vin and One Race, we’ve engineered three movies, two video games, an anime production, and web-based motion comics. Now, we’re taking Riddick back home and delving into his origins.”
Antihero Unleashed
What’s next for the Riddick franchise? Well, rumors are swirling about a TV series in the making. Seems like this saga isn’t ready for an end credit roll just yet. While many juicy details about the cast and plot remain shrouded in mystery, we vow to bring you every single Riddick update.
