Cash-strapped production to resume 28 December . . .

Fans will be glad to know that production has started again on Riddick, the third movie to feature Vin Diesel as the titular intergalactic bad ass (the others were Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick).

About a month ago we reported that everyone has been kicked off the Montreal set because the film’s production company didn’t cough on their payments. Now news comes that the money issue has been sorted and the movie will resume filming again on 28 December.

David Twohy who directed the previous two movies is directing this movie. Besides Vin Diesel, Karl Urban who played Vaako in Chronicles will also return.
