Riddick 4 (????)

So in case you haven't heard, Vin has announced that the next Riddick film will be in the works. He also announced an accompanying TV show, Merc City. (That feels like a bit of a goofy name to me, why not just Mercs? But I digress...)

Via VD's Instagram...



So here's the thing. The next installment was supposed to be UnderVerse, and THEN Furia. (And it's always been spelled Furya until now). But UnderVerse was going to require a bit larger budget (Source), so I hope they aren't skipping it altogether. That will be sad. : ( But they didn't say it would be the last sequel. So maybe they're just switching things up a bit.

So this has been an odd announcement. *scratches head*

Meanwhile, it looks like David Twohy has a couple other projects on his plate: The Leonardo Job and Replay. And he's currently in Rome which would seem a fitting place to film The Leonardo Job, so that must be next. So I appreciate the update from Vin, but it still looks to be very, very far off.

Wonder how the series will go. I knew when I saw this the other say you were going to be in heaven. I want a bigger budget Riddick four to conclude the underverse. I thought the last one Riddick was junk tbh.

Esau Cairn
Well if the TV series is good, hopefully it will generate a bigger budget for the movies.

not a surprise.. hopefully a good script and badass villain will this a good film..

if they go back to its roots as via Pitch Black and stay away from the EuroCrap that was Chronicles. I am all for this.

I've had enough of him just versus some new shitty bounty hunter he's obviously better than. I'd rather see his mythology expanded and other villains and other furyans.

The Eurocrap was more the style of the Bad guys aka the necros and the stupid design of the worlds.

EUROCRAP!

Gimme some Aussie Crap!

Its better crap.

Hopefully, it's better than the last movie.

I agree with what Quan had said in here, but Pitch Black was the best.

I know, right...

Well, on that subject, the fact that different people seem to have different favorites in the series, this is what Twohy (the director) had to say in an interview back in June of 2013...



So everyone is doing exactly what they should be doing. Choosing which one is their favorite. I think it's great, because with each chapter you're not sure what you're going to get. With LoTR and The Hobbit or whatever you pretty much knew what you were going to get. More of the same. Personally I have a hard time picking a favorite because Pitch Black is just a great little sci-fi horror movie with a brilliant confined little story and is a beautiful introduction to the character, Chronicles of Riddick is a massive irreverent space opera with epic scale, and Riddick is an awesome survival story with some great character acting and is just so beautifully split up into 3 distinct acts. It's too hard to choose. I like them all the best. Ultimately I do want to see more Necromongers and epic space opera scale because I think that is where the story should conclude to tie up loose ends, but as long as some more films get made I'll probably be pleased. I not only enjoy the subject matter and sci-fi pulpiness of it all, but Twohy is also a fu#king stellar director (and writer, The Fugitive) and is very good at the craft. I think he's highly underrated. A Perfect Getaway is a great self-aware little thriller and I think anybody who shits on Riddick (2013) doesn't understand good filmmaking, especially considering it was an independent film.

I was thinking about emailing Twohy again hoping to get some clarification on what the plan is since they are doing Furia (Furya??) next instead of UnderVerse. Because it is going to drive me crazy...

sick

lol

quanchi112
Vaako did transcend so maybe he will get involved. We don't need to see the entire Necromonger army on display since we already saw that but I'd rather see other Furyans and Elementals tbh.

Patient_Leech
I actually think the Elementals were a little gay. That's getting a little too fantasy as opposed to sci-fi for my taste.

Not as gay as walking trees from LotR, but still really gay. roll eyes (sarcastic)

I wasn't that impressed with Riddick the first time saw it. I think I was disappointed because I expected it to be like Chronicles, except bigger with even more special effects and elaborate fights.

Then, a couple of months ago I watched it again and I realised I owe it an apology. Riddick is actually a great little film, with lots of sly humour and references for the fans to enjoy. Vin Diesel does a great job showing the emergence of Riddick as he was and should be, a primal, solitary hunter rather than the big action hero and ruler of the universe he ended up as, a role Riddick never wanted and didn't suit him.

By the end we have a more mature Riddick, but also a Riddick that is closer to his original character than he was in Chronicles. Somehow, this has now ended up being my favourite Riddick film.

Honestly I was a little underwhelmed by it the first time myself and I even knew it was going to be scaled back a lot. I knew of the budget issues and Vin acquiring the rights from Universal and leveraging his own house to get it made, etc.

thumb up

All the films are very well crafted. They get better with more viewings. Riddick (2013) has some great subtle character development that is easy to miss the first time or two. I'm thinking particularly of Santana and the female convict he lets loose and Riddick watches die before his eyes. It's then that you know who is the real bad guy. Riddick is the convict, but this guy is an utter @sshole.

I just purchased Riddick for like 12.99 for my ps4 and I must say I agree. The first viewing I thought it to be utter crap but enjoyed it a lot more the second viewing. I know the budget was a lot smaller and even the special effects didn't seem as bad as they did my first watching. All in all a good film but I still don't have any character I gravitate towards but that's another matter. I just hope they can secure a much higher budget for the fourth film.

This is precisely what I missed the first time. I was so busy waiting for Chronicles' special effects and big epic sci-fi sequences that I missed how much was happening with the characters. In Chronicles the characters are actually pretty two-dimensional but nobody minds (me included) because the movie makes up for it with the action and the expensive sets.

But if you forget that and watch Riddick for what it is, a vehicle that allows Twohy and Diesel to explore and develop Riddick's character, you start to appreciate how much thought goes into the characters and how well they are portrayed. I think it's just too subtle for a lot of people and they are stuck on what they think it should be, rather than what it is.

I'm just glad I watched it again and didn't end up stuck between all the haters stick out tongue

I saw The Elementals a nice balance against the Furyan race/mythology.
If one race could believe in Hell (UnderVerse) than The Elementals were their peaceful equivalent.

The Star Wars universe has a subtle fantasy aspect to it regarding The Jedi & Sith. Then trying to explain the Force with bloody medichlorians really took the "magic", fantasy aspect away.

I think the UnderVerse, ironically enough, is more of the the Necromonger heaven, their promised land. What connection Furyans have to it if any I'm not sure.

But yeah, the Elementals are about keeping checks and balances so to speak.

I don't mind the medichlorian explanation, personally. Natural phenomena (use of the Force in this case) have biological explanations, no matter how religious they may seem. So I think it's better than making it just "magic."

I am kinda both excited and scared, excited since a new movie is coming, and scared because if the movie and series flop, Universal might wrap up the franchise. And then the problems with continuity that crop up with spinoffs. I am of the opinion if you can't get a good story to make a sequel, try to make a good prequel, since Vin Diesel not the other actors aren't getting any younger

When R2 accidentally runs over medichlorians that contaminates his oil & gains the power of the Force (short story) then it cheapens the reputation of both Jedi & Sith.

I share your concern. But I don't think it's really up to Universal anymore. It's an independent venture now. Vin got the rights from Universal. Universal just picked up Riddick to help distribute it (something like that), because Vin has a good report with them. But I think worst comes to worst they can get someone else to distribute any sequels.

I actually think keeping some of Riddick's upbringing a bit more mysterious is a good idea. May need to reveal some things, but I think mystery is probably better. That being said, there is actually a really, really good fan-fiction prequel story that was actually published. It's called Ghosts of Furya, by Angela B. Macala-Guajardo. I think it was either free or very cheap on Kindle. That's where I read it. Not necessarily canon, but definitely an excellent read for every Riddick fan.

But no, I don't think they should do any prequels. I feel like they are going somewhere with this, so it needs to move forward, not backward. There's too much at stake to move backwards and not forwards... Necromongers trying to cleanse the universe, Riddick's need to reconcile his past. Granted, I think we probably need to know a little bit more about the past and what happened on Furya (that fan-fiction book goes into it some), but strict prequels would be a waste of resources right now.

Kazenji
Wouldn't mind seeing a comic book based on this universe, Surprised it hasn't been done yet.

How about another prequel game, but of a different type than the previous ones? That would be awesome

The last one was great.
I loved how they went back to basics, and were willing to just let it be him Robinson Crusoe-ing it half the movie.
While he was still the baddest guy in the movie, they also toned down the marty sue aspcts they went overboard with in the sequel, and that helped me enjoy the character more.

For me, bigger isnt better for this franchise.

I think that's part of the fun of the franchise... they've sort of gone from smaller scale to larger scale and back again. It's been more due to necessity than actual intent, but they've still handled it very well.

I'm just confused right now because for quite some time the plan was to make Underverse to follow-up Riddick 3 and then make Furya (yes, with that spelling), and now they're saying the next film is an origin story called "Furia." So I don't know if they're literally doing a prequel next and then will go on to make Underverse and Furya... or maybe they're doing Furia first for some backstory and then Underverse will be the big finale? I don't know, but I really want to see the damn Underverse, so I hope they're not skipping it altogether. After all, that is the big cliffhanger that Riddick 3 ended with (if you've seen the Director's Cut): he's staring into the threshold to the Underverse. It's badass...

I wish there would be some news for this.. erm

riv6672
Yeah, some clarification'd be nice.
I like the Riddick-verse, i wish it had been handled...differently? I dunno.

-Really liked the Pitch Black, was especially surprised to see the would-be antihero end up stabbing Fry to save himself. A nice end twist, that.

-Chronicles was decent, but really went beyond what the first film was.

-The Animation was decent, but as above with Chronicles.

-Riddick was just meh. Bit of Pitch Black and a bit of Chronicles, but meh in total.


At this point I wished they'd either recast and reboot or maybe go back in time and focus on Furyan lore. How they were before their world was destroyed, maybe do some very mild similarities with DBZ/Saiyans. The lore is mostly open, so there are many possibilities here for a good writer and director to capitalize on.

Hm... I think Riddick is the anti-family series. Riddick is a bit of a loner.

I think that's why it's hard for Vin's psyche to play the role. That's part of the reason why he does the films so infrequently. Although, I suspect it has more to do with funding and getting such an underground cult series produced. But I dunno..

The Riddick series is awesome and the character of Riddick is awesome.

It's probably going to be another 5 years or something before they even film, because I doubt Vin will start on it before he's done with F&F. Ugh.. it's just annoying.

I thought Fast X was going to be the last one, but apparently there is an XI planned?? Hopefully that'll be the last??

Brother, they're going to be making these movies until Vin Diesel dies and then likely keep going.

It's a multi-billion dollar franchise, largely because of the Asian market. The last film had them going up into space in a modified Pontiac Fiero in order to shoot a missile at a satellite. **Let that image sink in for a moment** That film still made over 720mil.

Kazenji
With all the crazy stuff that they've done in those movies, It's basically a live action M.A.S.K. movie.

Patient_Leech
Hm.. I thought I saw that there was a "last one" planned. Was I mistaken? Have I been had?

Yeah and it was one of the highlights of the series. laughing out loud

I was disappointed to see that the next film isn't entirely set in space. sad

I'm still waiting. I think they just don't know what to do with the series at this point. The last film was just a repeat of the first film, so it just went in a circle without advancing the story. But maybe it's for the best. Instead of them ruining the story we can come up with our own stories as to what Riddick did.

Just don't be surprised when "FF12: The Fast Dozen" is announced.

Also don't be surprised when FF13 is announced, maybe they can do a Friday the 13th crossover. They've mentioned doing a crossover with the Transformers

Vin Diesel should just merge the Riddick character into the F&F franchise at this point.

Patient_Leech
If by that you mean F&F should go into outer space, then yes, abso-fu#king-lutely, I agree.

Robtard
Nah, where Riddick is an elite driver who specialists in night driving and then some more stuff happens.

Jaden_3.0
He'll be in his 60s when this eventually happens. It'll probably be an absolute embarrassment.

Said it before, Diesel should just walk away from this, they should cast a younger actor for Riddck and do a prequel series thumb up

#RobtardIsTheWay

Patient_Leech
**** you, Robtard.

Robtard
laughing out loud Diesel's going to be in his 60s running around in a tanktop trying to look badass.


They could cast Nicholas Hoult as a younger Riddick for the prequels, he's both a good actor and can look good as a baldie as we've seen in MM:Fury Road.

They could also go with Austin Butler, he was a decent Elvis and he can pull the bald look considering his leaked pics for his upcoming Glossu Rabban role in Dune part 2. There's other actors.

Patient_Leech
Oh, yeah, I mean, if they do flash-back stuff I do hope they cast younger actors. Vin shouldn't play teenaged or 20-something Riddick at this point, obviously.


But I don't think he should hang it up, because he's great as old(er) man Riddick.

I suspect that the new film will be only partially a prequel.

Speaking of old fogeys, I wonder why some older actors are more easily accepted by audiences and critics in action movies than others?

I mean, Denzel Washington is 68(!) and kicking ass in The Equalizer this year w. seemingly no age related blowback, but Diesel at 56 is thought to be ludicrous speed.

I don't think the meme is saying that Vin is already too old to be doing these action films. I think it's just having some fun with how these movies seem like they'll never end and he'll probably keep doing them until Fast39. I mean, whatever. I think Vin has actually aged pretty well, as long as he keeps weight off.

Vin Diesel Responds to Sexual Battery Allegations From Former Assistant Calling Them "Outlandish"

****ing hell. Even if there is no truth to these claims it will probably be enough to destroy any hopes of the next Riddick film getting off the ground. Mother$*@!(*& mad

StiltmanFTW
That's yet another problem with this retarded era of wokeness - lots of false accusations, easy to cancel someone out of spite... nigh impossible to undo it, too.

Robtard
It's not "wokeness" and are there a lot of false accusations?

Sure Amber Heard, but look what happened to her because of her lies, career is gone and she's a pariah.

Patient_Leech
^ Marilyn Manson's career is still halted from false accusations from like 3 or more years ago. Evan Rachel Wood. She's an awful b!tch.

And Depp's career is also dead.

Don't kid yourself. Many times mere accusations, regardless if they are true or false, have ruined careers. I know one of my favorite video game writers, Chris Avellone, had his career ruined (and it's still ruined) by accusations despite the fact that they would be proven untrue in court and his accusers had to retract their accusations and were forced to pay him a large fee.

Heard some big BIG news about this movie today.

They're bringing back Fry so Riddick can stab her again.

With his pork knife.
