Production on the latest movie in Vin Diesel's The Chronicles Of Riddick franchise has been put on hold due to financial issues, according to a U.S. report.
The actor starred in 2000 sci-fi film Pitch Black and its 2004 spin-off The Chronicles of Riddick, as well as voicing his character in animated follow-up The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury that same year (04).
Diesel is working on another live action film in the franchise, but the shoot in Montreal, Canada has reportedly come to a halt over cashflow problems, according to Tmz.com.
The website reports production at the Montreal studio was temporarily shut down on Wednesday (26Oct11).
