The Riddick movies are a prime example of a cult science fiction movie franchise that has constant stamina, soldiering on with new movies every time you think it’s probably gone for good.

Axar.az reports that’s mostly thanks to the indefatigable spirit of leading man Vin Diesel, who has carried both the Fast and Furious movies and the Riddick movies for the entirety of their time in the box office spotlight.

There’s a Riddick 4 on the way, with franchise veteran David Twohy having written the action movie – going by the title Furya – and also planning to hop back into the director’s chair once again.

But right back at the start of the thriller movie series, in the 2000s movie Pitch Black, Vin Diesel had a tough time filming in a claustrophobic cryo-sleep chamber – despite his tough guy role as mercenary and notorious criminal Richard B Riddick.
