Vin Diesel recently updated his Facebook page with a new video of himself and director David Twohy where they answer a fans question about the status of their upcoming 'Riddick' movie and what sort of direction their going with it in terms of the tone of the movie.
David Twohy: The movie itself is gonna be a lot like 'Pitch Black' because of the money involved because we want to maintain our "R" rating.
Vin Diesel: Which is a BIG deal.
David Twohy: At any cost..
Vin Diesel: We've committed to going "R".
David Twohy: It'll probably be a little tougher than 'Chronicles' was but more like 'Pitch Black', in that regard anyway. We are gonna be lean, and we're gonna do it quick, and it's gonna be a cool movie I can tell you that
And here's a synopsis of the film via ComingSoon:
"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."
I'm pretty excited for this movie, I loved 'Pitch Black', and 'Chronicles' was pretty good, not as good as the first, but I'm really looking forward to what they can do with 'Riddick' but by the looks of Vin in that video he might want to tone it down a little bit, he's huge.
