Vin Diesel has recently revealed that Universal has given him the thumbs up for another RIDDICK movie. This was in light of 2013's "Riddick" hit number one on DVD sales charts. Vin Diesel and director David Twohy has since been developing their own epic series centering on a Conan-meets-Star Wars character named Riddick. It started with the movie "Pitch Black"which was a sleeper cult success and made the world take notice of Vin Diesel (who later had superstar status when he starred in the Fast & Furious movies). The movie spawned an animated sequel and an ambitious feature film which was full-blown sci-fi epic in scale, but had a failure at the box office. It returned with a vengeance in 2013 when the low-budget, rated-R, sci-fi action-thriller movie sequel "Riddick" got released. Now, Riddick's chronicles moves on to a new adventure with another sequel. [hit the jump to continue]
Vin Diesel was quite happy of these developments and had this to say on his facebook page:
“I’m just excited, and happy, and I’m shouting out to you guys to say thank you. Universal just called me and told me that Riddick is number one on the DVD charts. There’s no way in the world Riddick would have been made without you guys, you know that. You guys have been a part of our page since 2012 and remember how arduous a road it was to get the movie made, and to make it rated R, and to do it with such a low budget. It’s a win for all of us and I really, really, really, really thank you so much. Yeah, I’m excited, and of course, Universal’s also saying they want to develop the next one.”
