The latest 'Riddick' adventure starring Vin Diesel is in the can and awaiting distribution. We're still unsure of when it will come out (Universal will release it sometime in 2013), but what we do know is what it will be rated. Did it go the PG-13 route of 'The Chronicles of Riddick', or did it stick to its guns and rock a hard-R (like its granddaddy, 'Pitch Black')? Find out after the break! Read

Vin Diesel is coming back and he’s as shirtless as ever, folks! You thought he looked hot in ‘Fast and Furious’ and ‘xXx’? Get a load of this still from the new ‘Riddick‘ film that’s in the works. Diesel shared it with the world on his Facebook page because, we can only assume, it shows off his abs and that “big stick” he uses in the film.

'Fast Five' kicked into high gear at the weekend box office.
