It’s been a long road for Vin Diesel’s Riddick 3. The third entry in the saga of the popular sci-fi character (who first appeared in the 2000 film Pitch Black, then again in his own 2004 solo venture, The Chronicles of Riddick) has had many starts and stops, the latest start being the actual start of production this past summer – the latest stop being a production halt this fall, when the production company, One Race Films, failed to pay its debt to the studio where Riddick 3 is being shot.

However, in a new update from TMZ, Riddick 3 has secured new funding,and production is set to resume on December 28th.

Some Riddick 3 plot details surfaced earlier this year, revealing a story that picks up right after The Chronicles of Riddick (with Riddick crowned leader of the Necromonger armada), with Riddick fending off assassins, monsters and bounty hunters as he makes his way toward his home planet of Furya. The movie also has direct ties to the original Pitch Black, bringing the trilogy full-circle.

Riddick is a cult-favorite amongst sci-fi lovers and Vin Diesel fans alike, but as far as mainstream audiences go, this is film is not really a must-see. Still, the script sounds like it’s pretty fun, and the early concept art designs for the film have been pretty interesting. Also, if the recent Fast and the Furious installments have been anything to judge by, Vin Diesel is on something of a comeback streak as far as revisiting his most successful roles goes.

This shit is ognna be just as good as TDKR.

I could just never get into these movies for some reason.

I liked the first one. I never watched the second one and probably never will.
This one will be more like the first so count me in

The first one was cool, the second one was... different, less cool but still enjoyable. But... a third Riddick? That's just meh.

I think I must be one of the few who really, really enjoyed the first two movies. Pitch Black was awesome, I never get tired of watching it, and the second was pretty nice, but had many flaws.

A third interests me, but I also feel like we don't need it. I think, maybe, the timing is wrong.

I actually enjoyed Chronicles a lot more than Pitch Black . Hopefully this one is a good mix of both styles.

Katee Sackhoff is in final negotiations to play the female lead opposite Vin Diesel in the untitled Chronicles Of Riddick sequel. In the movie, written and directed by David Twohy, the Battlestar Galactica alumna will play Dahl, a Nordic mercenary tracking Riddick (Diesel). Production on the sequel resumed recently in Montreal after a two-month break due to financing issues.

Cool, this still sparks my interest, so I hope it delivers.
