Vin Diesel’s ‘Riddick: Furya’ to Film This Year

Advance:

• Vin Diesel returns to play Richard B. Riddick once again.
• ‘Riddick: Furya’ is filming in August.
• David Twohy returns to write and direct.

It seems as if over the past few years Vin Diesel has mostly spent his time working on the giant ‘Fast & Furious’ entries, with occasional breaks to get into a voice booth and record tracks as Groot for various Marvel projects.

But despite some complicated personal legal issues of late (which remain unresolved), he’s moving forward with another of his big franchise projects, as news hits that the next ‘Riddick’ movie is gearing up to film in August this year.

Diesel has been teasing Riddick’s return on social media for a while, so the new announcement that ‘Riddick: Furya’ will finally start moving is more of a confirmation of his plans.

What do I need to see before watching the new ‘Riddick’ movie?

Diesel’s gruff, morally challenged vigilante first broke out in 2000’s ‘Pitch Black,’ where he had to survive on a hostile planet where bloodthirsty creatures trap a group from a crashed spaceship as an eclipse plunges them into darkness. .

The story was expanded to further explore the character’s backstory and pit him against an invading empire called the Necromongers in 2004’s ‘The Chronicles of Riddick,’ while 2013’s ‘Riddick’ pared things down to a simpler survival story about a sun. -scorched planet.

What is the story of ‘Riddick: Furya’?

In the new film, Riddick finally returns to his home world, a place he barely remembers and fears will be left in ruins. But there, he finds other Furians fighting for their existence against a new monster, and some of these Furians are more like Riddick than he ever imagined.

Who is making ‘Riddick: Furya’?

Returning for the new film is writer-director David Twohy, who has overseen all the entries so far. He will also produce the film alongside Diesel and his company One Race, while Rocket Science represents the film’s international rights (and has already closed several deals).

What else does Vin Diesel have on his agenda?

In addition to the new ‘Riddick’ release, there are a number of projects competing for Diesel’s attention. He is set to star in an adaptation of the ‘Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots’ game, a film version of the TV detective drama ‘Kojak’ and, of course, the big finale to the ‘Fast’ franchise, which one would think would have been ahead of everyone else, but seems to be in a sort of limbo situation.

When will ‘Riddick: Furya’ hit theaters?

Since the film has yet to land a domestic distributor and filming has yet to begin, we wouldn’t expect to see it before the end of 2026 at the earliest.
