Storyboard art for Vin Diesel's RIDDICK - 'R' rating Confirmed

Vin Diesel has released some new storyboard art from his upcoming third Riddick film that is currently in pre-production. The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking is set to be directed by David Twohy (Pitch Black, The Chronicles of Riddick). Diesel also confirmed that the movie will end up with a "R" rating. Here's a note the actor left with the image above on his Facebook page...

I hear you...

While I was working on character, the Director and his team of artists have been creating the world and style of this picture. We all know how much I enjoy concept art and storyboards, haha, I am like a kid in a candy shop.

Seeing the early stage of CGI is always fascinating to me, it is a element that usually comes together long after the filming process, so you look forward to seeing it fully realized.

First stop for the Riddick production is Canada, which is where we shot a large part of Chronicles...

P.s. I am grateful to have Universal in such support of this complex character's journey... not many studios would back an "R" rating. Very cool.

Here's a previously released synopsis for the movie,

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.
