Vin Diesel Reveals New Concept Art Piece For ‘Riddick’

Vin Diesel has took to his hugely popular Facebook account (27+ million ‘likes’) to share this piece of concept art for the tentatively titled Chronicles of Riddick threequel, ’Riddick.’ The film continues the story began in ‘Pitch Black’ and ‘The Chronicles of Riddick.’ Along with the image Vin Diesel also shared some info on the possible 2012 release date for the film. Check out what he had to say about the image and ‘Riddick’ below.

In the spirit of Creative Sundays… I asked the director to send a key frame that I could post it for you.

Concept art and Key frames allow a production to explore possibilities before actually committing to film. The road to the “R” rating, that so many of you were vocal about, has been a long one. The advantage however, (never empower the negatives) was that we were allowed a really extensive preproduction process. The art work is so good, the artists have really outdone themselves in illustrating this world at it’s early stage.

When this film comes to the screen… know that you willed it into being! Haha…

I got two meetings today that I have been prepping for… one with the Director and another one with the head of the studio to discuss casting and the 2012 release date. Like always, I appreciate having your voice present in these meetings.

The synopsis for the Vin Diesel-starring film offered in 2010 is as follows: “Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Vin 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.”
