Jeeze, I can't believe it's already been 11 years since the last Riddick movie (and will most likely be 12 or 13 by the time people see this new one)... and even when THAT one came out it had already been 9 years since Chronicles of Riddick before it. That's crazy. Does anybody still even care about seeing Furya anymore? And what a weird series.

* Pitch Black: Let's do "Alien" on a desert planet with unscrupulous leads and a unique twist. Everybody dug it.
* Chronicles of Riddick: Let's make everything PG-13 and grow a universe around Vin Diesel's character and make Lord of the Rings in space.
* Riddick: Nobody liked Chronicles of Riddick so let's just do a scaled-way-back, cheaper Vin Diesel vanity piece that's a pseudo remake of Pitch Black.
* Riddick: Furya: ? No clue.
