Vin Diesel Drops Info On Fifth RIDDICK Film

So the there was a screening for the Studio…  

The Director thinks it’s Riddick’s best, the Producers think it’s the Director’s best… and the Studio.. well… The Studio now wants to make the following chapter… “COR: The Underverse”.  

Although, this would be few years away, a script could come in next month…  

P.s. Those 30 million of you, who saw the production process through Our page… kinda surreal huh?

This would ultimately mean a fifth feature-length film for the franchise (the third being the animated home release of Dark Fury). And in my opinion, an action adventure spin-off that explores what the “Underverse” is really about would be an interesting breakthrough, especially since most of us have only ever heard of in the second film, The Chronicles Of Riddick.

In that film, we saw our titular, bright-eyed, steely-voiced hero tackle armies of necromongers led by a supernatural prophet who foresaw his own agenda by applying his dogma anywhere in the universe, and murderously taking the souls of anyone who stood in his way. Moreover, the final battle between our hero and the supernatural villain gave us a taste of just how powerful the “Underverse” can be when applied mano-e-mano. So I can already imagine that with Chronicles Of Riddick: The Underverse, of course, the antagonist here will have to be bigger than that of the first three movies, including the upcoming September release of Riddick, in which the anti-hero will be battling a new breed of mercenary, in addition to the usual intergalactic monster community somehow able to thrive on a deserted wasteland of a planet that gets even more populated at night.

So, on that note, while some may have their own opinions about the 2004 live-action film, or even about Diesel as an actor, it does set up another layer of Riddick’s story we can now fully engage in. I know I may be jumping ahead of myself though, but nothing wrong with a little speculation and excitement, especially since we are already hearing some good news about the upcoming film that fans can definitely look forward to. Besides, the Riddick franchise as a whole is already excellent, with its gritty, violent graphic novel feel, headlined by a lead character made iconic thanks to one of the most influential action stars of our time. So you know what? I’m not about to complain.

Rest assured though, Diesel is only aiming higher with his franchises. And in the likelihood that Riddick succeeds at the box office, there’s no doubt that The Underverse may take us there with him.

Riddick opens September 6, 2013.
