Universal Pictures sent out a press release just a little bit ago announcing that filming for the Riddick film has officially started...even though it actually started a little while ago (and the set pics prove it).

 If your answer to the above question was anything other than "yes" (or a variant of that word), then I'm afraid I can never be friends with you. Director Robert Zemeckis, producer Bob Gale, and composer Alan Selvestri are currently making plans to adapt the film to the stage, whether you like it or not. And you BETTER like it. Anyways, read more about the potential project and who's involved after the jump.

For a film that's only a month and a half away, we've seen very little of it so far.  This is more confounding by the fact that it's such an anticipated title with a rabid fan base already installed.  Fortunately, those fans (and everyone else) can get a whole slew of new footage in the second trailer which has just dropped.

Welcome back for another edition of News Bits.  What is it you ask?  The film world can get quite overwhelming at times in the news that releases.  Unfortunately some of this news is just too small to warrant a full article. Rather than deprive you of the news, we've created this section.  This week in news bits we’ve got posters, pics, dates, and so much more!
