There aren't many actors who would risk the roof over their heads to make a movie. Producers, maybe; directors, perhaps; but actors?

Vin Diesel, however, has revealed that he did just that in order to bring the long-awaited sequel to 'The Chronicles of Riddick' to the big screen.

“I had to leverage my house,” Diesel told the Hollywood Reporter. “If we didn't finish the film, I would be homeless”

He added that he decided to plunge head-long into making the film after speaking to a fan, who told him: “We want a rated-R movie and we'd be willing to pay $10 each. Surely you'd have enough to make it then.”

“Something about that comment made me think, bless their heart, and if I can do anything with this new-found success, if I could do anything at all, I could deliver on that wish," he added.”


So what do you think guys, Would you put up your Home for your dream success to come true?

Shit, no kidding. You're definitely in a roll with news, @Braniac3000. And yeah, you'll find your answers to your question in either the tutorial/Q&A section of CBM.

But wow, he's putting his own house on the line just for this movie to succeed. Talk about taking risks. But hey, he wants to make sure this succeed, so I'll give him props for doing this.

I really like Vin Diesel. He's unashamed of his geekiness and seems to be a genuinely nice guy. Anybody else remember seeing him on Conan years ago talking about his D&D character? I think he played as a drow. It's hard not to like the dude. It's a real shame that he makes such shitty movies.
