Sequel Bits: ‘Riddick,’ ‘Skyfall,’ ‘The Expendables 2,’ ‘Captain America 2,’ And A Dream Of ‘Blade Runner’
That’s a new still fromRiddick, above, which was recently shared byVin Diesel. In addition to that, this Sequel Bits features the following stories:
Diesel shared that header image (click it to expand) onFacebook, as per his usual method. He also said,
You know I like to let you in on things, even before Hollywood knows…Haha… Last night I was invited in to the editing room, to see the first cut of the new Riddick… WOW!!! P.s. I was so affected/excited… I couldn’t sleep. GRRRR!!!
OK, so marking Diesel down as “psyched” for the third Riddick movie, which was written and directed byDavid Twohy. The plot features Riddick (Diesel) left for dead on an all-but-lifeless planet — turns out there’s some life left, and that life is a batch of serious alien predators. Oh, and his presence on the planet also attracts bands of mercenaries that want his head. So that’s kind of a mess.
Riddickdoesn’t have a release date at this point. It also featuresKarl Urban(Star Trek,The Bourne Supremacy), Jordi Mollà(Bad Boys II,Colombiana), Matt Nable(Killer Elite), Katee Sackhoff(TV’sBattlestar Galactica), Bokeem Woodbine,Dave Bautista(The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption),Conrad Pla(Immortals),Raoul Trujillo(Apocalypto),Nolan Funk(TV’sAliens in America) and two-time Grammy Award-nominated singerKeri Hilson.MI6says thatDaniel Kleinmanis once again designing the title credits sequence for the latest James Bond film, which in this case isSkyfall. 007 films are known for elaborate, highly-stylized credit sequences featuring nude silhouetted women, guns, and whatever actor is currently playing Bond.
Kleinman’s previous work for the series includes his debut,GoldenEye, andTomorrow Never Dies,The World is Not Enough,Die Another Day, andCasino Royale. (MK12 didQuantum of Solace.)Skyfallwill be his sixth Bond credit sequence. Check out a breakdown of Kleinman’sCasino Royaleworkhere.

OK, Stallone’s happiness at the end of that sequence is pretty cute. The film opens on August 17, withArnold Schwarzenegger,Bruce Willis,Jet Li,Dolph Lundgren,Terry Crews,Randy Couture,Jean-Claude Van Damme, andChuck Norrisall featured, andSimon West(Con Air) directing.
Captain America 2might take up residence in North Carolina whenIron Man 3is finished in the state.Latino Reviewlearned that with tax breaks set to expire in the state, the legislature there is trying to extend them for some time, and State Rep. Danny McComas said the extension could help North Caronlina land the Cap sequel. We still don’t know what the film’s story will be, however — maybe Cap just wants to hike in the mountains and catch a Superchunk show in Chapel Hill.
Finally, just because this is pretty entertaining,Katy Perrywants to be part of theBlade Runnersequel; specifically, she dreams of being Rachel. She says as much in the video below, viaNextMovie.
