Fans of Vin Diesel’s Riddick will be happy to hear that the actor is bringing the character back for another chapter in the sci-fi adventure called Furia and that there will also be a TV spin-off series! He made the announcement on Instagram:
“Last night our company had a party to launch our TV division. Merc City is a show that will follow the Mercs and Bounty Hunters of the Riddick Universe. Next Month, Dt begins writing the next Chapter in the Chronicles of Riddick… Furia.”
Dt stands for David Twohy, who is the writer and director of all three of the films in the Riddick franchise - 2000’s Pitch Black, 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick, and 2013’s Riddick. He also wrote the two animated Riddick shorts, "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury" and "Riddick: Blindsided."

Director David Twohy's modestly budgeted science-fiction thriller was a surprise hit in 2000.

Twohy (screenwriter for 1998's "The Fugitive" and Tfh guru Mick Garris' "Critters 2") revisited the character three more times in "Dark Fury", "Riddick: Blindsided" and 2013's "Riddick."...

If you watch the video below, which features Diesel dancing(!) to both Katy Perry and Beyonce (seriously, you have to watch this), in between shaking his ass to their two songs, he mentions that Universal called him directly to give him the good news about the home video release and to inquire about the possibility of a sequel.

With Riddick (Blu-ray review) now available in stores, we've gotten hold of an imagining of our favorite Furyan's universe in an easy to use, interactive star map. Each of the planets on the map has hotspots that contain facts, images, and other content that gives fans a more in-depth look at the setting of the trilogy.
While the map doesn't reflect every aspect of the Riddick universe - and we certainly wouldn't advise it as a navigational tool - it definitely presents a jumping-off point for fans to discuss their favorite characters, scenes, and moments from the action-packed sci-fi franchise!

We’re breaking form this week and going alphabetical instead of preference order because of the Incredible diversity of product available for you to rent, buy, or stream over the next ten days. How does someone really compare “Sunrise” to “You’re Next”? Why bother?
If you need to know, “Closed Circuit” and “Runner Runner” aren’t really worth your time and “A.C.O.D.” and “Riddick” are flawed but everything else in here comes with varying degrees of recommendation, particularly the quiet beauty of “Sunrise” and the incredible charm of “Enough Said”. We’re also loading you up since we’ll be off next week seeing flicks in Park City at the Sundance Film Festival. There’s plenty in here to tide you over. Pick your favorites.
