Sherlock Holms 3 is on its way! And so does Riddick!

This little tit bit of news has got me very excited today considering its a Monday. According to Deadline New York Warner Bros. have been in talks with Drew Pearce who did some writing on Pacific Rim in which Guillermo del Toro is going to be shooting in Toronto for Legendary Pictures, and who is currently writing the script for Iron Man 3.

This deal with Pearce and Warner Bros. is all set to get sealed....so lets watch this space for the 3rd installment in this Guy Ritchie helmed franchise.

This though isn't the only film franchise that is getting another cinema outing as there is more word rippling  doing the rounds on the t'internnet  as Fast & Furious 6 is going to be filmed back to back with a Fast & Furious 7.

It was rumoured that Justin Lin who directed the other Fast & Furious movies had walked away from the directing chair of these latest films that Universal Pictures are eager to get a move on with, but this rumour I have since foound out was simply not true. Chris Morgan is as we speak busy working on ideas for this follow so it has been reported by the LA Times's blog The Envelope.

Justin Lin is still going to be sitting in the directorial chair for these, and there is already a release date pencilled in for Fast & Furious 6, this being May 24th 2013. But this is just a pencil date in the calender as the whole back to back idea of shooting both films would as you can imagine will cause a bit of pushing this date backwards as post production for the sixth would have to be put back for the shooting of the seventh one.

Also as you all in the know already know that the mighty franchise that is Riddick is coming back and that it has been taken back to the first Pitch Black film...this is yet again more principle photography from the film and yet again it looks great if this gets the greenlight and can stay in the film:



This looks epic to me, I think this is really great...looks really imposing and really looks more Necromonger than the uniform that they wore in The Chronicles of Riddick...which if you ask me was shit but I still watched it, that did though have some links back to Pitch Black but I think that the only link between this last film and Pitch Black was the character of Jack...if your not a fanatic about this set of films then you won't have a clue what I'm on about so here is what should fill in the blanks for you:

In Pitch Black jack was part of a ships crew that was transporting people from one planet to another as well as transporting one inmate of a prison who was Riddick who was highly dangerous as he had just escaped from a maximum security jail, this ship crashes onto an unknown planet overrun with alien creatures that were attacking all of this crew. Jack was a child at this point, had all his hair shaved and as soon as Riddick started helping the crew to survive he began to form some kind of a relationship with Riddick...but Riddick later found out as Jack was part of the 4 surviving members of the crew who hadn't been eaten by these creatures that Jack was in fact a girl that thought that it would be easier to be seen as a guy to get on a ship.

And in The Chronicles of Riddick when a group of mercinaries finally track Ridick down they take him to prison where they use vicious dog like animals to keep the inmates on their toes and here is where Riddick sees Jack again but she has since changed her name to if I can remember correctly Sabertooth as she carries a sharpened edge tooth in between her teeth and no one goes near her as she attacks them with it.

And the story for this film is as follows:

Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on another desolate planet that is inhabited by alien predator creatures he has to fight in order to survive and becomes more dangerous and powerful than ever before. Bounty hunters from around the galaxy descend on this planet to get him but they soon realise that they are just pawns in Riddicks bigger picture for revenge. Leading on from this Riddick putting these bounty hunters right where he wants them he unleashes a vicious attack of revenge, then heads home to Furya to save it from total destruction.
