Vin Diesel: 'I Had To Leverag…
For the third installment in the "Riddick" series, Vin Diesel not only stars in the latest film but produced and funded the action flick.
It's been nine years since Diesel has taken on the role of the dangerous predator battling space aliens and guns for hire, and without a big studio backing the project, the "Fast and the Furious" actor had to lay it all on the line to release the movie.
"I had to leverage my house," Diesel told the Hollywood Reporter at his L.A. premiere on Wednesday. "If we didn't finish the film, I would be homeless."
The AP reported that "Riddick" cost somewhere between $35 million and $40 million.
