RIDDICK Sequel Production Update

Although it hasn't been receiving a lot of pre-production hype, there actually is a Riddick franchise sequel, simply titled "Riddick", in the works. This would be the third installment, after "Pitch Black" and "Chronicles of Riddick". The sequel, which is currently filming in Montreal, is once again directed by David Twohy, who apparently hasn't been doing much outside of this franchise, apart from a little known low-budget thriller called "A Perfect Getaway" in 2009. Also returning are Vin Diesel and Karl Urban. New characters will be played by Jordi Molla ("Bad Boys II"), Matt Nable ("Killer Elite"), Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Galactica") and Raoul Trujillo ("Cowboys & Aliens"). Below is the official synopsis for "Riddick"

The latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000′s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004′s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

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.
