After The Chronicles Of Riddick flopped, it seemed unlikely we’d ever see the character again (outside video games). However, while Vin Diesel and director David Twohy have had to ditch the grand-scale space operatics they’d initially envisioned for an entire Riddick trilogy following Chronicles, they are bringing the character back in a movie that’s said to be more in the vein of the film that first introduce us to the character, Pitch Black.
The film should have shot last year, but ran into funding issues, but now to prove it really is going to happen, Vin Diesel’s released the first image from the set, along with the brief message, ‘Grateful for the opportunity to make magic… Thank you. P.s. One from the set…’
Here’s the (unconfirmed) synopsis: ‘Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.’
