Vin Diesel and David Twohy reveal plans
for new Riddick movie Furia and spin-off series
Ever the master of social media, megastar Vin Diesel took to his
Facebook page for an unannounced live video on Tuesday in which he
teased to nearly 200,000 viewers his “special guest” which turned
out to be David Twohy, the mastermind behind the
Riddick franchise. You can check out the full
video below, which revealed that they will start filming the new
fourth chapter titled Furia in early 2017 (after
Diesel gets his newborn child Pauline up and walking), that it will
be an origin story of where Riddick comes from, what rating they
are aiming for, as well as news on the spin-off series “Merc
City”
“Are you guys excited to hear about ‘Furia’? Do you
want to know where it all began with that dark character
Riddick?” Diesel said. “I dunno if
‘Furia’ is rated R, it might be a little more expansive in its
mythology, it may call for…”
“It’ll be rated R,” Twohy stated
bluntly.
Of course, this new Riddick installment (following on the heels of
2000’s small, R-rated Pitch Black, 2004’s epic
PG-13 The Chronicles of Riddick and 2013’s
moderately-budgeted R-rated Riddick) was just
announced less than a month ago simultaneously with plans for a
companion TV series titled “Merc City,” and now a press release has
popped up for a fresh deal with Universal Television to develop
said series:
Vin Diesel’s One Race Television is partnering with Universal
Television on a multi-year, first-look production deal.
One Race, founded in 1995 by writer, director, producer and
actor Diesel, has produced the four highest-grossing films in the
seven film “Fast” franchise – Furious 7,
Fast and Furious 6, Fast Five as
well as Fast & Furious. The franchise has
earned $3.9 billion at the worldwide box-office. He has directed
Multifacial, Strays and
Los Bandoleros. Previously, One Race launched
multiple franchises in the action genre, including the
science-fiction thriller Pitch Black and the two
follow-up films, Chronicles of Riddick and
Riddick, along with the hit xXx
and the follow up xXx: Return of Xander Cage, in
pre-production now. Diesel’s business acumen also extends to the
gaming universe, where his Tigon Studios produced three critically
acclaimed console titles including “Chronicles of Riddick: Escape
from Butcher Bay” and original property “The Wheelman.”
One of the first offerings going to market will be a television
series complement to Diesel and writer/director David Twohy’s
highly successful sci-fi franchise, “Riddick.”
“In addition to being a huge star for our feature division, Vin
is a true creative force as a producer. After sitting down with him
and his team at One Race Television, it’s clear he will now also be
an incredible asset to both the network and our television studio”
said Jennifer Salke, President, NBC Entertainment. “We feel really
fortunate to be in business with, not only an international
powerhouse, but a truly thoughtful and passionate
producer.”
“I have dreamt about expanding the One Race brand into
television and now we’ve found the perfect creative partners in
Bob, Jen and the team at Universal Television,” Diesel said. “Shana
is an incredible addition to this team.”
Diesel has hired industry veteran Shana C. Waterman as Head of
Television. Waterman will oversee development and production under
this multi-year, first-look deal.
“I’m incredibly excited to join the exceptionally smart,
innovative team Vin’s built at One Race,” Waterman said. “Both he
and fellow producer Samantha Vincent, alongside their partners at
Universal, have grown a formidable global brand ready-made for this
diverse and highly creative time in the world of
television.”
