Chronicles of Riddick Banner

After being teased again and again by plotlines and pictures and more pictures, today marks the end of the principal photography period for RIDDICK. Star, D & D player, and all around nice guy Vin Diesel had this to say on his Facebook page yesterday about the matter:

"Tomorrow is the last day of principal photography... and you who have willed this rated "R" Riddick into being, will be proud.

Universal is so excited about what they have been seeing that they are now making me especially excited to see the finished film...

Haha...

When is the release date Uni?... Our page wants to know.

/smile

P.s. Thanks for the positivity you bring... it makes it all worth it."

I'm sincerely stoked for this. I enjoyed both PITCH BLACK and THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK for different reasons, and seeing as how RIDDICK is meant to be a marriage of the two I couldn't be more pleased. So let us know when we can see it, Universal! I need sustenance to sate my appetite for more engaging and original Sci-Fi stories!

And here's the picture which accompanied Diesel's post:

Extra Tidbit:	Reportedly Vin Diesel was able to convince Judi Dench to play D & D with him and Karl Urban while shooting THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK. That might be my new definition of awesome.

Good cant wait. Vin is amusing though, I joined his fb page and while he generally puts out balls to the wall action flicks. The posts he puts up suggest he is a drastically different individual.

I LOVE Pitch Black and liked Chronicles well enough (and Butchers Bay surprised me in a good way) so i am tingling with excitement.

I have to admit that I have not liked some of Vin's films but I am a 100% fan of Pitch Black, Chronicles and the Fast & Furious films that he was in. Good luck with this. I can't wait to see it.

I never understood why the Riddick series took the beating it did. This is a unique sci-fi universe that was created and the Riddick character is a fantastic protagonist to follow. I am really looking forward to this and I love that Vin is so supportive of his fans. He keeps us updated and is as much of a fan of the Riddick universe as all of us, so I am proud to support these projects.

looking forward

stoked to see this... Pitch Black was in a league of its own, way better than Chronicles; even tho I could enjoy parts of it, the concept in general was too ridiculous

cant wait....

I;ve been waiting for this film ever since Chronicles ended. I enjoyed both movies in the series for what they were (70's type sci-fi) and cannot wait for this new one since it is going to balance elements of the first two movies. Plus, Vin Diesel is pitch perfect in the Riddick role as an anti-hero badass.

Tidbit...

Yeah he filled her broadway show make-up room with red roses so she'd agree to play the part.

This is absolutely one of my most anticipated movies of next year.
