News on Next Riddick Project

Looks like the almight dollar may be holding up this production. Vin Diesel has posted on his official Facebook page (yes I have liked it, so deal) the following.

"[David Twohy] the writer/director just landed in New York with the good news. We can start filming this summer," writes Diesel. "However, there is a catch ... in order for us to make a true R-rated film, I must work for scale upfront. Not unlike the "Find me Guilty" experience (which I wouldn't have changed for the world). Money is always second to art, integrity and spirit... but the real issue is deeper. Can I suspend my life, to momentarily venture to that dark place... called Riddick."

Studios don't do as many R-Rated films as they do back in the day due to the lower profit margin...since age actually counts when buying a ticket these days. I'm hoping that they don't end up compromising on this one. Some films/characters simply need to be R-Rated to be who they really are. Good luck, Vin. I'm looking forward to seeing this film.

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.
