Synopsis
Riddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000’s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.

First Full Riddick Trailer Has Vin Diesel Dodging Aliens

The effects in this trailer look fantastic. The sun planet, as a location, is barren without being desolate and depressing. The stunts have an epic scale. And the threatening creatures that surface in the second half of the clip – the ones that are going to cause the real headaches for Riddick – look positively unbeatable. ...

Vin Diesel Reveals Riddick Footage At Last

Riddick is a sequel to the overblown The Chronicles of Riddick, though Diesel and his director, David Twohy, have been saying they’d like to get back to the bare-boned approach that worked for the initial foray into the Riddick universe, Pitch Black – the movie that helped make Diesel a star back in 2000....

We have seen a number of Riddick photos as director David Twohy continues to tinker on his sequel, from Diesel in character on a throne to the warrior getting contemplative in the rain as he perches on a futuristic motorcycle.

Vin Diesel Broods On A Throne In Newest Riddick Image

Seriously though, I’m not a big fan of either the Riddick films or thrones in general, but this is a ridiculously impressive piece of furniture that could possibly top The Big Lebowski’s rug at really tying a room together. If there were ever a perfect place to sit and brood over the huge credit card bill that arrived after a silly and expensive movie merchandise purchase was made, this throne is it...

It's strange to think how long fans have been waiting to see Riddick, the upcoming sequel to Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. Not only will it be the first movie in the franchise since 2004, the project actually started shooting all the way back in January of 2012. But our time without the Alpha Furyan is almost over....

Through a feat of sheer will, Vin Diesel has managed to make a third Riddick film a reality, completing a trilogy that started with Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick and that virtually no one ever thought would go further than that. Riddick is clearly Diesel's passion, and though he's shown off occasional photos from the set...

First Look At Katee Sackhoff In The Riddick Sequel

Actress Katee Sackhoff is no stranger to sci-fi costuming. After all, from 2004 to 2009 she dressed up on a regular basis to play Captain Kara 'Starbuck' Thrace on Battlestar Galactica. But while you may have seen her in that costume before, what you haven't seen is her dressed as Nordic mercenary Dahl in the untitled Chronicles of Riddick sequel....

Diesel and his director, David Twohy, have promised a return to the darker, stripped-down tone of Pitch Black, which should be music to the ears of Riddick fans.

Vin Diesel Is Ready To Pounce In New Riddick Set Photo

Lately the best source for Vin Diesel information has been … well, Diesel, himself. The Fast Five star is an open book of social media sharing, and while he posts infrequently (compared to, say, a number of movie bloggers), when he updates his status it's usually with something very cool for fans. His latest “gift” is an exclusive photo of himself in character as Riddick, from the set of the third Pitch Black film....

Jordi Molla To Play The Villain In Riddick Sequel

Molla was the only thing I actually liked about Columbiana, though I'm curious to see how Twohy uses him in the film. He's not exactly known for playing over-the-top, bombastic characters, so maybe he'll just be the level-headed, military-minded leader that's hunting down Riddick. I guess we'll just have to wait and see....

Next Chronicles Of Riddick Casting, Script Details Revealed

Word is that the script has Riddick stranded on yet another barren planet surrounded by monsters and mercenaries who want him dead. This is almost exactly the plot of Pitch Black. They’ve also turned him back into a kick-ass, bloodthirsty badass… which is good. The kinder, gentler Riddick of Chronicles never really fit....
