While production picks back up in Montreal, Bloody Disgusting has been digging for the full cast of David Twohy’s Riddick, the third film in the trilogy that will star Vin Diesel and Karl Urban.

We have exclusively reported Oct. 31 that Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (White Noise 2: The Light, Growl, The Haunting in Georgia), Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall, Devil) and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption) have all been given offers. Add Matthew Nable (K-11, Killer Elite) to the list as “Boss Johns”. Apergis would play “Krone”, commander of the dark theocracy. Sackhoff would pay “Dahl”, a Nordic merc tracking Riddick.

We’ve also learned that there’s strong interest in both Cliff Curtis (Live Free or Die Hard , The Fountain, Training Day) and Holt McCallany (Alien 3, Fight Club) as “Santana” and “Vargas”, respectively.

“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.” READ MORE

People Paid, Riddick Production Resumes Today

After a brief set back due to financial problems, Riddick is back in production.

It’s reported that the production company scrounged up enough cash to pay off some long overdue bills after coming to a screeching halt last month. It was reported that the guy who owns the Montreal studio where the film is being shot LOCKED OUT the cast and crew after complaining that he hadn’t gotten paid.

Studio owner Michel Trudel claims the production company recently paid up … and he’s willing to allow the flick to pick up where it left off.

Sources connected with the production explain that the studio payment is just one step in the right direction — noting that several members of the crew who had been griping about not receiving paychecks will indeed get their cash in the very near future.

Filming will resume today. Vin Diesel and Karl Urban both star. READ MORE

While production has been shut down in Montreal, we did a little digging and have landed some potential casting news for Universal Pictures’ Riddick, which is being directed by franchise creator David Twohy. We’re being told that offers were made to Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (White Noise 2: The Light, Growl, The Haunting in Georgia), Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall, Devil) and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption).

Apergis would play “Krone”, commander of the dark theocracy. Sackhoff would pay “Dahl”, a Nordic merc tracking Riddick.

If signed, they would join Vin Diesel and Karl Urban in the R-rated sequel to Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick. READ MORE

Vin Diesel’s One Race Films Not Paying ‘Riddick’ Crew?

Vin Diesels One Race Films Not Paying Riddick Crew?

The scuzziest, most despicable entity known to mankind (IMO), TMZ, reports that production was shut down on Riddick, David Twohy’s second sequel to Pitch Black that once again stars Vin Diesel in the title role.

The tabloid “spoke with Michel Trudel — the owner of the Montreal studio where the new movie is being shot — who tells us he changed the locks and kicked everyone off the set Wednesday because the production company, One Race Films, has failed to pay up on time.

But Trudel isn’t the only one griping about a paycheck — sources connected to production tell us several members of the crew have not been paid in over 2 weeks … and are very concerned about getting their money.

Trudel tells us he’s confident the situation will be resolved soon … and he’s more than happy to let production resume … as soon as he gets his money.”

This story is a bit weird considering I wasn’t aware of any actually shooting going down. From what I understand the film was in pre-production with actual photography to begin next month. Diesel is the only locked cast member alongside Karl Urban, unless they’re shooting a buddy comedy with only two cast members. It’s also a bit odd that the person complaining about being paid allegedly contacted TMZ directly. This whole story stinks of shenanigans. More soon, I’m sure. READ MORE

Vin Diesel returns to Facebook with more concept art from The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking (Riddick), the third film in the franchise created by David Twohy.

“One of many Necro-armor designs,” says the star who returns as the title character, “I am excited about the work our ‘Riddick’ crew of artists are doing right now in Canada. ‘Riddick’ starts principal photography in weeks… much to do, much to do… especially since it’s “R”…”

Bloody Disgusting reported a few weeks ago that Karl Urban will reprise his role of “Vaako,” one of Lord Marshal’s (Colm Feore) commanders that’s married to Thandies Newton’s character, “Dame Vaako”. Urban starred in Thowy’s 2004 The Chronicles of Riddick. He will join franchise star Vin Diesel, who plays the title character.

In the R-rated sequel “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.

I’ve really liked everything I’ve seen and read about Riddick so far, including the script. The threequel has Vin Diesel’s one-man killing machine stranded on a barren planet with monsters and mercenaries fighting for his head. It has connections to both previous films and has a more Pitch Black vibe, character and story-wise. The ending was the only thing that didn’t sit too well with me, but I’m sure it’s gone through a few rewrites since then.

Today, Moviehole got word that casting director Anne McCarthy (Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, Insidious) has begun scouting for a few supporting roles, including Boss Johns, Santana, the sexy female merc Dahl, and the smug commander Krone. Check past the break for a spoilerific character breakdown.
