Here’s some word of movement on the Riddick movie that Vin Diesel is developing with Pitch Black director David Twohy. Casting has officially begun, and a number of supporting roles are in play to be filled, Moviehole reports. The site reveals that the four characters in the casting mix right now are: Boss Johns, Santana, the sexy female merc Dahl and the smug commander Krone.

There are a few addition details, but they qualify as spoilers, so continue reading at your own risk. In the upcoming movie, Diesel’s Riddick ends up being stranded on a weird planet filled with hostile alien life. He sets off a distress beacon, but it ends up bringing in a large number of mercenaries who want the ex-con for one reason or another. One of those teams is led by the Boss Johns character, who’s the father of Pitch Black‘s William Johns (Cole Hauser), the a-hole spacecop transporting Riddick to his latest prison cell.
