The upcoming Universal Pictures Vin Diesel science fiction thriller film "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking" is set to begin filming in Montreal, Canada in mid-October, 2011. The films casting directors in Los Angeles and Canada are auditioning principal actors for supporting and day player roles, while the extras casting director in Monteal, Canada will be casting extras throughout filming. Additional shooting locations scouted include Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada.

Although "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick" are the first two films in the Riddick series, this next installment is actually a direct sequel to the "Pitch Black" film. The events in "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking" return to the mystery and monsters at the center of "Pitch Black." The script for "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking", is a tighter, intimate and more suspenseful ride than the last film in the series - "Chronicles of Riddick". The story has Riddick left for dead on a desolate planet fighting for survival against alien predators. Bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy soon descend, only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge.

David Twohy will direct "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking" from a screenplay that he wrote himself. Twohy also wrote and directed the films "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick". He also wrote the script and scenario for the "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay" video game. Universal Pictures has agreed to let Twohy direct "Riddick" as an R-rated film.

Samantha Vincent and Vin Diesel will produce "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dead Man Stalking" under the banner of Diesel's company One Race Productions, which was established in 1995. The companies production credits include "A Man Apart," "The Chronicles of Riddick," "Find Me Guilty," "Fast & Furious", and "Fast Five" among others.
