George Clooney’s The Descendants Trailer Bows

Vin Diesel has revealed that the long-in-development ‘Riddick 3′ is scheduled to begin filming this summer. On hisFacebook page, the actor said that the movie has been greenlit, but he will need to take a reduction in salary to realize the project.
Diesel earned about $15M for Fast Five, but with the choice to make the next Riddick film R-rated, the resulting limited audience will likely mean less dollars at the box office. Thus, Diesel may have to wait to see the tallies before he realizes any real money.
Complicating matters is the actor’s attachment to an action-comedy calledThe Machine, from the producers of The Pacifier, which could create a scheduling conflict with a potential Riddick project. Then there’s the actor’s own reservations about revisiting the Riddick franchise.
“[David Twohy] the writer/director just landed in New York with the good news. We can start filming this summer,” the actor explained. “However, there is a catch… In order for us to make a true R-rated film, I must work for scale upfront. Money is always second to art, integrity and spirit, but the real issue is deeper. Can I suspend my life, to momentarily venture to that dark place called Riddick?”
Later, Diesel added:
“I am off to another meeting with David, the director of Riddick, to see concept art and discuss the potential schedule.”
Do you think it’s time for Diesel to leave Riddick behind, or are you pining for another film?
