Riddick Casting Calls

For months we've been getting progress tease reports from both writer/director David Twohy or star Vin Diesel about about the status on the as yet Untitled Riddick Sequel...

Now it seems casting on the film has officiially begum according to Moviehole

Twohy and casting director Anne McCarthy are looking for "sexy female mercenary" Dahl, "smug commander" Krone, the undescribed henchman Santana  and [Possible Spoiler] Boss Johns, who's the father of the Johns played by Cole Hauser and who's apparently rather keen to learn what happened to his son on Hades.

The site claims to have seen a script draft, and say that Riddick 3 is much more akin in tome with Pitch Black  than 2004 follow up The Chronicles of Riddick, making little or no mention of the events of the last film...Save for a small role for Vaako (Karl Urban)

All sounds cool right? Save for the notion of a twelve-year-old "Alpha Kid", who has magic powers and shiney eyes like Riddick's...ugh! Shades of the worst yet fresh plot point of Superman Returns"

Surely not?!!
