David Twohy's Bloody, R-Rated 'Riddick' Sequel in Pre-Production
Get ready for the carnivorous monsters
By Robert Falconer | Wednesday, December 2, 2009
On his Facebook page, actor Vin Diesel has revealed that a new installment in the 'Chronicles of Riddick' franchise is currently in pre-production and has already begun scouting locations in New Zealand.Director David Twohy discussed back in August that he'd sketched out two possible ideas for continuing the films and was working to get the third film in front of the cameras in 2010.
"At the studio level, it would have to be a PG-13 movie again and we don't want to do that again," he explained to Bloody Disgusting. "We want an R, so we are looking at the possibility of setting it up as an independent movie and selling it territory by territory and thereby keeping an ownership stake in the movie. But we're trying to see what that would yield in this unsafe market..."
"We're going to find Riddick alone for the first part of the movie, barely alive, surrounded by carnivorous monsters who are trying to eat him," Diesel told SCI FI Wire back in March about what fans can expect of this next film. "So you'll see a futuristic Rambo-esque Riddick trying to survive."
