Vin Diesel hints at new Riddick film

New Riddick 3 storyboard art

Sep 4, 2011

On Facebook, Vin Diesel has posted some new Riddick 3 storyboard art from the upcoming sequel, directed by David Twohy.

Here’s what Vin updated us on the film: “While I was working on character, the Director and his team of artists have been creating the world and style of this picture. We all know how much I enjoy concept art and storyboards, haha, I am like a kid in a candy shop. Seeing the early stage of CGI is always fascinating to me, it is a element that usually comes together long after the filming process, so you look forward to seeing it fully realized. First stop for the Riddick production is Canada, which is where we shot a large part of Chronicles…
P.S. I am grateful to have Universal in such support of this complex character’s journey… not many studios would back an “R” rating. Very cool.”

Riddick 3 plot details

Aug 10, 2011



Looks like we’ll finally see the rogue bad-ass Riddick (Vin Diesel) again, as plot details and casting are being released for what was once called The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking, which is seemingly now called Riddick.
In a nutshell, the movie sees Riddick back on a barren planet, surrounded by monsters and mercenaries – both species who want him dead and vice versa. Though there’s a couple of potential cameos from previous Riddick movie faves, it’s mostly fresh blood this time surrounding the big guy. And speaking of fresh, the character seems to have gotten a welcome, kick-ass overhaul….he’s more brutal, bad-ass and virile (as some may say) than he was in the previous films (via MovieHole).
Also of note, is the character of Boss Johns coming back here, who was Riddick’s adversary in Pitch Black and his father.

Sep 18, 2011



Fans have been waiting a good while for the next installment in The Chronicles of Riddick franchise, and development on the next chapter has been moving along recently. Vin Diesel posted on his Facebook Page that he’s got two meetings today. One of them will be for the casting of the film, and the other will be to discuss a release date of 2012. It’s unknown if that can be met as he’ll very likely be moving forward with Fast and the Furious 6.

Development on the next installment in the Riddick franchise is moving with Vin Diesel ready to reprise his role as Riddick, but he’s not the only one returning. Bloody-Disgusting has learned that Karl Urban will be reprising his role as Vaako in The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking. It’s unknown how big of a role he’ll or the Necromongers will be play in the film, but hopefully it’ll explain how Riddick lost leadership of the army.

More Possible Casting News For Riddick Movie

After a troubled month or so of having production on hold due to financial problems, it appears as if David Twohy’s Riddick has sorted out its money and it is once again in production. With that, we also have an updated list of possible cast members.

According to B-D, “Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (White Noise 2: The Light, Growl, The Haunting in Georgia), Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall, Devil) and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption) have all been given offers. Add Matthew Nable (K-11, Killer Elite) to the list as “Boss Johns”. Apergis would play “Krone”, commander of the dark theocracy. Sackhoff would pay “Dahl”, a Nordic merc tracking Riddick.”

The site also reports that there is strong interest for Cliff Curtis and Holt McCallany, but at this time nothing is confirmed.

So far, Vin Diesel and Karl Urban are locked in for the sequel.

Synopsis: “Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.“
