Vin Diesel dropped by Facebook on Saturday and updated the status of the new Riddick film that is gearing up for production. In doing so, he confirmed one major aspect of the film that’s been up in the air since Vin first alerted the world to the project via social media.
In speaking with his fans, Vin said that pre-production is in full swing as the film is coming together via concept art, storyboards and pre-visualization animatics. He says he’s a “kid in a candy shop” when it comes to this stage of a new project, and even shared one of the sketches for all of us to see.
Stop one on the Riddick 3 production will occur in Canada where it is assumed the majority, if not all, of the film will be shot. According to Vin, a large portion of The Chronicles of Riddick was shot there.
In closing, Vin extended his gratitude to Universal Studios for backing the vision of Vin Diesel and writer/director David Twohy to take the Riddick character back to his Pitch Black roots and an R-rating.
Like Vin says, “very cool.”
