Filming wrapped up on Riddick a couple of months back and the movie is now in post-production. Vin Diesel posted an update letting everyone know that he just watched a rough cut of the film and shared a brand new photo.

Riddick is an R-rated sequel from David Twohy, who directed and wrote the first two films. Vin Diesel stars with Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk, and Keri Hilson. There is no release date at this time, but Vin Diesel has mentioned that Universal is looking at early 2013.

“The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.”

Haha...

Last night I was invited to the editing room, to see an early first cut of the new Riddick...

WOW!!!

P.s. I can't tell you how proud I am of everyone involved.

I was so affected/excited... I couldn't sleep.

GRRRR!!!"
