The next Riddick movie was forced to temporarily halt production recently when cast and crew were locked out of the Montreal studio were filming had begun. The studio owner alleges the production hadn’t paid for use of the studio, according to TMZ.
But after the shoot was shut down, the film’s production company somehow managed to scrape together the money and pay the studio bill. The movie is still having cash problems, however: a number of crew members have also not received paychecks recently, although a source involved with the production says they will soon.
Meanwhile, now that the bills are being paid—more or less—production is scheduled to start up again on Dec. 28.
The movie is being financed independently.
