Riddick is Official
More Riddick Posin’
“Riddick” is still happening. Just in case you were curious. To ensure you that it is happening, the franchise’s star Vin Diesel has been posting set images from the movie’s Canada set pretty regularly. About once a week or thereabouts. Here’s the latest pic.
Vin Diesel is All Dressed Up and Ready to Shank Someone in an Image from the Riddick Set
Yup, after a lot of start and stop, and start again, it appears David Twohy and Vin Diesel’s “Riddick” is actually, honest to goodness, getting made. Go figure. I know the film has been casting for a while (Katee Sackhoff, Jordi Molla, that Funk kid), but I gotta tell you, I wasn’t still sure it would actually happen. I mean, the film has so much potential to be badass, I just naturally assumed Hollywood would find a way to kill it. Cause, you know, that’s what Hollywood does.
Someone Name Nolan Funk Has Joined the Cast of Riddick
Yeah, I don’t now who the dude is, either. Here’s what Variety says:
Nolan Funk is set to star alongside Vin Diesel in the next installment of the “Riddick” franchise. Funk can be seen next in the Bold Films pic “Evidence” and just wrapped the co-lead role in the ABC Family pilot “Intercept.”
Katee Sackhoff and Jordi Molla Will Hunt Riddick
Variety and Deadline are reporting that both Katee Sackhoff and Jordi Molla are now officially in talks to play mercenaries tracking down everyone’s favorite space fugitive with a bad attitude in “Riddick”, the third movie in the “Pitch Black” franchise from star Vin Diesel and writer/director David Twohy.
Katee Sackhoff and Others May Frak Up Vin Diesel’s Riddick
Vin Diesel and David Twohy’s “Riddick” is heating up. (That would be “Pitch Black 3″ or “The Chronicles of Riddick 2″ FYI.)
The latest casting rumors on the film has offers going out to Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (of “Battlestar Galactica” fame), Bokeem Woodbine and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista. Ahem, sorry, I mean, WWE superstar Dave Bautista. That’s like the official title for those wrasslin’ guys, right?
Another Piece of Riddick 3 Concept Artwork
The ever affable Vin Diesel, as he is wont to do, has put out yet another concept artwork for his upcoming “Riddick 3″ movie, which we hear tell he’s still working on with writer/director David Twohy. Being that Twohy doesn’t have a Facebook page with a gazillion fans, it’s up to Diesel to keep us abreast of what’s transpiring in ol Riddick world. Take a gander, won’t you?
Vin Diesel Updates Riddick With New Concept Artwork, R-Rating Promise
According to Vin Diesel via his Facebook page, “Riddick” will indeed by R-rated, and pre-production is still going strong on the movie, with director David Twohy back to direct. Plus, he dropped this nifty little concept artwork from the movie showing hero Riddick looking very up to his eyeballs in blood and death and no doubt, lots of carnage.
Riddick 3 Plot Details, Spoilers, and Such
The folks at MovieHole have gotten their hands on some casting notices and plot details from Vin Diesel and David Twohy’s upcoming “Riddick”, their sequel to “Pitch Black” and “The Chronicles of Riddick”. I suppose shortening the title to just “Riddick” is the way to go, though it might actually confuse people who don’t already know it’s a sequel to two existing movies. Then again, considering the clunky nature of “The Chronicles of Riddick”, maybe that’s not such a bad idea after all.
New Concept Artwork for Riddick 3
As he is wont to do, Vin Diesel has released another piece of concept art from his in-development “Riddick 3″ movie through his millions-strong Facebook page. “Riddick 3″, of course, is the sequel to “Pitch Black” and “The Chronicles of Riddick” that he and writer/director David Twohy have gestating somewhere in the bowels of Hollywood. Who knows if we’ll ever actually see it, but until then, here’s the latest piece of art from the movie. At the very least, we know Twohy is still working on it in some capacity, because according to Diesel, this comes from Twohy himself.
Vin Diesel in Terminator 5? Probably Not, But Let’s Talk About it Anyway
Previous reports on the status of “Terminator 5″ has “Fast Five” director Justin Lin being offered the cushy gig of directing a new “Terminator” movie, and as a result he’s been talking with the former Governor-turned-actor again Arnold Schwarzenegger about the never-say-die franchise.
Major Plot Details and Script Review for Chronicles of Riddick Sequel
The boys at Coming Attractions have managed to get their hands on the script for David Twohy and Vin Diesel’s upcoming “Chronicles of Riddick” sequel, apparently titled “Dead Man Stalking” (beh, not a fan of that one), and they’ve spilled the beans. Read on for PLOT DETAIL SPOILERS.
First Concept Art from Chronicles of Riddick 2
Via his Facebook account, Vin Diesel has posted the first concept art from what I assume is the upcoming “The Chronicles of Riddick” sequel, because I don’t recall that dog from any of the previous movies.
Says Diesel about the pic:
Early Riddick concept art… first frame of a 2D Motion Choreography Study.
Chronicles of Riddick Sequel Plot Details
The Hollywood Reporter has given us our first taste of what the “Chronicles of Riddick” sequel will be all about — basically a “back to basics” storytelling that, from the sounds of it, is more “Pitch Black” than the clunky, epic-wannabe mess that was its sequel, “The Chronicles of Riddick”. Hey, I liked both movies, but let’s face it, who the hell cares about the Underverse or whatever the hell it was called. Give me a primitive, primal looking Riddick going up against people in high-tech suits with space guns armed with only a prison shank and it’s all good.
Vin Diesel Confirmed For Third Riddick Film
Well, it’s a done deal. Our man Vin Diesel has been confirmed for a third “Chronicles of Riddick” flick. David Twohy, who wrote and directed both “Pitch Black” and “The Chronicles of Riddick”, will direct Mr. Diesel again from a screenplay he wrote.
