Well, Vin Diesel certainly knows which side of his bread is buttered.
The actor has signed on for “Riddick,” the third film in the series we didn’t realize people still cared about. David Twohy, who wrote and directed the first two films in the series will be back at it again while Diesel will put on his producer’s hat for this installment as well.
Plot details are being kept quiet for now but apparently it will return to the flavor of the more Riddick-centered the first film “Pitch Black,” rather than the ambitiously expansive sequel, “The Chronicles Of Riddick.” As was previously reported, scouting has already been done for shooting in New Zealand, and Diesel has revealed via his FaceBook page that Egypt has been added to the list as well. So we imagine the budget on this one won’t be cheap.
No production dates are in place yet, but it will have to work around shooting on the fifth (!) “Fast And Furious” film. Seriously, who are the meatheads who continue to buy tickets for these films?
