Today, it is primarily associated with the movies of the series about Riddick , whose role was played by the popular actor Vin Diesel.

Black hole

The plot was inspired by Isaac Asimov ’s short story “ The Arrival of the Night, ” which earlier, in 1988, had already been made into the movie “ Twilight ”. The initial sketch for the film even represented the name of the film, like Twilight.

The film tells about the events taking place on a small desert planet (something similar to Saturn), where a cargo ship with passengers on board miraculously made an emergency landing, in which, among other things, a dangerous criminal named Richard B Riddick was escorted, the survivors find abandoned settlement of geologists, after several deaths, they find out that all living things on the planet were destroyed by animals moving only at night, of course the main task of the survivors is to save the forgotten planet with this god.

Depth

Mystical drama. Somewhat unusual for David Thuy, because before that he did not write scripts for such films and did not put them.

The Chronicles of Riddick

The continuation of the “Black Hole” film, which had already managed to by this time, will be loved by the adventures of Richard B Riddick, only 4 years later, the new film was significantly different from the first, primarily due to the constant change of action and a lot of characters, the cartoon was made based on it “ The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury, ”and also released the computer game The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay .

The events of the film unfold after some time, so the girl saved by him from the planet in the first film manages to grow up and become a girl, Riddick himself lives in exile, on a distant cold planet, where hunters fly after him who received an order from a priest who needs help in fighting by certain Nekramongers, creatures destroying the worlds and converting all who come across to their faith.
