What Vin Diesel film did David Twohy direct?

The story behind the answer

The Vin Diesel film directed by David Twohy was The Chronicles of Riddick.

Released in 2004, the science-fiction action film stars Diesel as Richard B. Riddick, a dangerous fugitive with exceptional night vision. The story follows Riddick as he becomes entangled with the Necromongers, an invading force seeking to conquer the universe. Diesel also served as a producer on the film.

The movie is a sequel to Pitch Black, the 2000 film that introduced Riddick. Twohy directed both films and later returned to direct Riddick in 2013, making him the filmmaker most closely associated with the live-action Riddick series.

A common mix-up is naming Pitch Black, which Twohy also directed and which also starred Vin Diesel. However, the question’s singular answer is The Chronicles of Riddick. The film expanded the original thriller’s survival premise into a larger space-opera universe and remains the franchise’s second feature film.
