While production has been shut down in Montreal, we did a little digging and have landed some potential casting news for Universal Pictures' Riddick, which is being directed by franchise creator David Twohy. We're being told that offers were made to Andreas Apergis, Katee Sackhoff (White Noise 2: The Light, Growl, The Haunting in Georgia), Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall, Devil) and WWE wrestler Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption).
Apergis would play "Krone", commander of the dark theocracy. Sackhoff would pay "Dahl", a Nordic merc tracking Riddick.
If signed, they would join Vin Diesel and Karl Urban in the R-rated sequel to Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
By adding someone like Bautista to the roster, they're clearly going for a beat of a man to do some major ass kicking cause Bautista is a mountain of a man.
I really hope this film finds some funding. On the other hand, I can't believe they tried to go as far as they did without any. They must have known before hand that they couldn't pay anything.
I liked the Riddick series and would love to see another one.
Batista is awesome and I'd love to see him in this type of movie, but lately he's been in nothing but trash, so I hope his name floating around isn't a sign of the films quality. I doubt it is, but I'm worried!
I can always use a little more Starbuck in my life
Well, I hope they work something out. It would be ashame if he didn't get to make this movie now after all this work that's already been done and it wouldn't say much for Vin D. either and how he is as a business man.
