Movie Bits: Toy Story and Riddick
The Toy Story 3-D project seems to be moving forward. A few days ago we had the poster for the new animated feature, which appears to be set for a release sometime in 2010. Now we have news of an additional voice added to the mix of Tom Hanks and Tim Allen. Michael Keaton will add his voice to Ken. Barbie made a brief appearance in Toy Story 2, and now Barbie and Ken will play a bigger part in the action. The plot as it is now has the toys given up when their owner goes off to college. This leads them on an all new adventure.
In other news, Vin Diesel is hot news this week. With his next film, Babylon A.D., hitting theaters Friday, and the new trailer for Fast & Furious available now, the man is hot. He talks about becoming a father, and some future projects he has in mind. We already heard about him wanting to make a prequel to this new Fast & Furious movie covering the period between the first film and this one for his character and Michelle Rodriguez’s character as well. Now he is talking about making two more movies for his Riddick character. The Chronicles of Riddick was disappointing at the box office, but two sequels that were planned years ago still might be made. Diesel spoke about this to MTV, so we will have to wait and see.
