Vin Diesel takes to the Internet to celebrate Riddick's DVD and Blu-ray success by sharing good news for the franchise's fans.
Vin Diesel is not shy about letting his fans know how things are going via his Facebook page. Consider that it was Diesel who first broke news that he was in discussions with Marvel Studios for a potential role in Guardians of the Galaxy, well before anyone else was throwing his name around. And it is now he who is ready to share good news with his Riddick faithful that helped him convince Universal to make an R-rated sequel to that 2004 PG-13 franchise builder.
And what better way to do it than with a little Katy Perry sing along and dancing? For those who can't click on the link to watch the good times, Diesel said:
“Guys, I’m just excited, I’m happy. And I’m calling you guys, or shouting out to you guys, to say ‘Thank you.’ Universal just called me and told me that Riddick is number one on the DVD charts. There’s no way in the world Riddick would have been made without you guys...Of course, Universal is also saying they want to develop the next one.”
