On his Facebook page [via ComingSoon], Vin Diesel announced that “The Riddick team is in New Zealand location scouting already… that’s exciting.” Wow! A new Chronicles of Riddick movie! That is exciting! So who’s financing this adventure? I know you’re going back down to your Pitch Black budget but I’m sure in this economy, someone out there is willing to give you guys money to make a movie with only a strong cult following and no broader appeal. I would assume that David Twohy would return to direct, but that would be weird because in August he told Steve that his next project is a film called Crying Havoc.
Here’s what I think is the truth: Vin Diesel is lying. He is lying his ass off to continue interest not in a 3rd Riddick movie, but in Vin Diesel and letting the fans know that he’s really trying to come back to do those popular franchises. He loves those projects! He really wants to do them! Bullshit. Vin Diesel is no closer to getting a 3rd Riddick movie made than I am to seeing perfectly in the dark with a mystical eye-shine ability. But I believe Steve put it best in an editorial he wrote earlier this year, “Vin Diesel is full of shit.“

As I just said in the intro of my Timothy Olyphant interview, just a few hours ago I was on the red carpet of writer/director David Twohy’s new film “A Perfect Getaway”. The film stars Timothy Olyphant, Milla Jovovich, Kiele Sanchez, Chris Hemsworth, Marley Shelton and Steve Zahn and it’s a murder mystery that takes place in Hawaii. It’s a film where you’re constantly trying to figure out who are the murderer’s.
Anyway, while I asked him about his latest film, since I’m a big fan of “Pitch Black” and “The Chronicles of Riddick”, I also asked what’s the status of a 3rd Riddick movie. The other thing I asked was did he ever have an idea for the third Riddick film when they were making the 2nd one. Finally, David talked about his next film “Crying Havoc” and said Ridley Scott will be producing it. Watch the interview after the jump:
