The Chronicles of Riddick took inspiration from franchises such as Mad Max and Lord of the Rings for its first entry in the sci-fi saga, Pitch Black.
The Chronicles of Riddick franchise all started with Pitch Black, a modest science-fiction action thriller that was never intended to inspire an entire cinematic universe. A saga that will soon span over two decades with the release of Riddick 4: Furya, The Chronicles of Riddick has become a multimedia universe spanning four full-length movies, a straight-to-DVD animated movie, several video games, comics, and novelizations.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A sleeper hit, Pitch Black quickly laid the groundwork to establish Vin Diesel as the franchise's titular character. Strangely enough, the movie exists as a completely isolated episode in the Riddick saga, contributing very little to the lore or greater story of the dark anti-hero.
Pitch Black Was Never Meant To Start A Franchise In a 2002 interview with Variety, Pitch Black's director David Twohy revealed that once the studio had seen what was being done with other franchises at the time, the next two movies got the green light. After initially turning down his pitch for a fairly ambitious sequel, they quickly changed their tune and took the writer-director up on the offer.
"Vin has become a bigger star, and he and I became interested in multiple pictures," Twohy remarked when discussing the then-upcoming sequel, The Chronicles of Riddick. It's no wonder that the follow-up to hit Pitch Black, 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick dives deeper into the world and its lore, placing Riddick at the center of a dark, universe-spanning crusade.
