Vin Diesel has released a new photo from Riddick: "First time I posted about Riddick was back in 2009, Facebook was fresh...
They were asking me to come to the headquarters to talk about this new concept of communicating with fans. I was proud to lead that wave, yet all I was doing, was opening up about my passion - film.
So this picture of Our 2012 production of Riddick, is a cool victory for all of us... it shows that studios can be influenced by your voice.
P.s. Proud of Our Riddick team."
Filming is currently underway with series creator/writer/director David Twohy back in the director's chair. The cast list hasn't been confirmed, but Katee Sackoff, Nolan Funk, Jordi Molla, and Karl Urban have been revealed as having roles in the film. Riddick will be an R-rated sequel that is closer to Pitch Black, but continues the storyline from The Chronicles of Riddick.
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.”
