For the second week in a row, I have movie news that should interest Mick. Honestly, I didn't even know that a third movie in the Chronicles of Riddick franchise was in production until Total Film reported this story on the star's pay cut.
It seems that in order to avoid a repeat of the furor over the second movie's PG-13 rating, director David Twohy has promised to make the third film a solid R. For some reason, doing so means that Vin Diesel must work for scale.
Regarding the movie itself, it's planned to begin shooting this summer and will feature a reduction in scope from its predecessor's epic scale to focus on more traditional horror elements.

Vin Diesel is likely working for scale to keep the cost down as much as possible. Not knowing what I'm talking aboot, I assume it would be to placate the studio, who would be nervous about a rating that excludes any potential tickets. Bottom line and all.
