As Fast & Furious 6 revs its engines ahead of its release this week [read our review here], Universal Pictures has taken the opportunity to debut the first full trailer and poster for star Vin Diesel's next sequel, the sci-fi action-adventure Riddick.

Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered.

Riddick trailer and production stills bring the action

16 May 2013 7:32 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

The first trailer and production stills have arrived from Riddick and the film looks like it will deliver the action and aliens fans of the anti-hero have been waiting for since Pitch Black introduced the Furyan to the world. Universal Pictures released the first Riddick trailer exclusive at Machinima, and it looks like Vin Diesel and writer/director David Twohy have managed to return the character, an escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy, to the gritty promise he had in Pitch Black. Check out the trailer and stills from the film: »

Check Out the First Trailer for Riddick

16 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »

My day was a little low on octane. I’m so glad that the first trailer for Riddick could remedy that. The Universal Pictures epic was written and directed by David Twohy and stars Vin Diesel in his reprisal of the title role from 2000’s hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004’s The Chronicles of Riddick.

Trailer: Riddick

Ah-mazing.

Riddick starring Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Nolan Gerard Funk, Noah Danby, Jordi Molla, and Bokeem Woodbine is slated to hit theaters September 6th, 2013. »

Vin Diesel Stars In New Riddick Trailer Online

15 May 2013 5:20 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

Following Vin Diesel’s one-man Facebook PR campaign and the first teaser trailer, here comes the full promo for Riddick. Based on all the evidence so far, this appears to be Diesel and writer/director David Twohy getting back into the Pitch Black aesthetic. Given how wonky things got when they tried for Ott space opera with The Chronicles Of Riddick that seems like the smartest move.Our favourite gravel-voiced antihero is left for dead on a planet with unique properties and no small number of dangerous predatory beasts. As if that weren't enough, he also has to face a small swarm of bounty hunters looking to cash in by taking him down dead or alive.With a storm on the horizon and more trouble for everyone involved, it’ll be another fight to the death for Riddick – and anyone left standing… There’s the vague whiff of a lowered budget here, »

Full trailer for Riddick

15 May 2013 4:16 PM, PDT | www.themoviebit.com | See recent TheMovieBit news »

Treading territory quite similar to Pitch Black, Vin Diesel returns as the anti hero who made his name with Riddick. We've seen snippets of David Twohy's long in production sci-fi sequel before, but now this full trailer gives us a better look at what to expect. We've have no indication of how this ties into Riddick's last appearance, The Chronicles of Riddick (which became bogged down with an overblown mythology), but it's good to see the character brought back to basics. Synopsis: Left for dead on a sun-scorched planet, Riddick finds himself up against an alien race of predators. Activating an emergency beacon alerts two ships: one carrying a new breed of mercenary, the other captained by a man from Riddick's past. Released: 6th September »

Vin Diesel Is Riddick In New Trailer

'Riddick' Trailer: Vin Diesel Goes Back to His Alien-Fighting Roots

15 May 2013 2:07 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »

For someone who is seen as an action star, Vin Diesel hasn't actually starred in that many different action movies. Sure, he's been in movies like Babylon A.D. and A Man Apart, but those have been largely forgotten in time, especially compared to the monster franchise that is The Fast and the Furious (and he's not even in two of the six Ff movies!), and the monster-hunting franchise that started with Pitch Black. Now that the former has become a huge player at the box office, Vin Diesel is using his rekindled Hollywood clout to get another entry in the latter off the ground. It's simply called Riddick and it hits theaters September 6, 2013. Once again written and directed by David Twohy, Riddick finds the fugitive with the universe's best night vision living...

'Riddick' Trailer: Vin Diesel Battles Monsters On Sparsely Furnished Canadian Soundstages

15 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »

First off: yes, the 'Riddick' franchise, which began with 2000's pleasingly grungy "Pitch Black" and continued, into a more opaque fantasy realm with 2004's "Chronicles of Riddick," is still alive and well. For some reason.

In the series, Vin Diesel plays the titular mercenary, who has had his eyes "shined" so he can see in the dark (which is apparently a problem in the future, maybe because everyone is out in space). He's such a badass that in the opening moments of the trailer for the third film, simply called "Riddick" (just Riddick, it's cleaner), he grabs a dragon by the throat. Note to dragons everywhere: don't mess with Vin Diesel.

After the dragon-choking (wait, what?), the rest of the trailer sets up the basic plot for "Riddick," as much as there is one. A band of lethal bounty hunters, it seems, has been tracking Riddick and located »

First Full Trailer and New Poster Released for Riddick

15 May 2013 2:05 PM, PDT | Cinelinx | See recent Cinelinx news »

Despite knowing that Riddick is set to release at the tail end of the Summer movie season (September 6th), we haven't really seen a whole lot of footage from the film.  We got a quick little teaser (if you could call it that), and that's about it.  Now, we've got our first full trailer, with loads of new footage plus a new poster and stills.  Come inside to check them all out.

Riddick is the third film in the "Chronicles of Riddick" franchise (though I'm not sure they're calling it that any more) but judging by this trailer, it has much more in common with Pitch Black than it's sequel.  Like...it looks almost exactly the same, but I don't mean that in a bad way.  Just watch and you'll see what I mean:

It's light on the story, but the trailer gives a much better look at the film »

First full trailer for ‘Riddick’ debuts

15 May 2013 1:24 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

Following a nine year-gap since The Chronicles of Riddick, the follow-up to 2000′s Pitch Black, the third film of the Vin Diesel-led sci-fi franchise is set to open in September. Consistent series helmer David Twohy returns to write and direct this entry, in which Diesel’s title character finds himself up against another alien race of predators, as well as a group of mercenaries and a figure from his past. Perhaps due to the second film’s underwhelming box office take considering the money spent on it, Riddick looks closer in scale to Pitch Black, or at least pitched somewhere between the two prior films. Alongside Diesel, the cast features Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista, and you can watch the debut trailer below:

New 'Riddick' Trailer, Poster and Pictures

15 May 2013 12:48 PM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Universal has premiered a brand new Riddick trailer along with the film's first poster and a selection of new pictures. The film marks the newest chapter in the Riddick franchise, which began with Pitch Black in 200 and appears to be leaning more that direction than 2004's Chronicles of Riddick. Once again David Twohy is at the helm with Vin Diesel in the title role. I can't remember how the last film ended, but I feel as if it ended with a more upbeat note than it sounds like this one begins, with Riddick stranded on a sun-scorched planet where he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators where his only way off is to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty. Action ensues... Riddick hits theaters on September 6. I have included the trailer, poster and the remaining new pictures directly below. »

Vin Diesel Fights Everybody In The New Riddick Trailer

15 May 2013 12:43 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

It’s been 14 years since Vin Diesel first appeared in Pitch Black as Riddick, the intergalactic criminal who can see in the dark. The Alien-esque story about a spaceship that crashes on a planet full of monsters that only come out at night developed a cult-following so strong that director David Twohy tried to launch a big-budget Chronicles of Riddick trilogy in 2004, but when it failed to find a big audience, it seemed we’d never get another Riddickmovie.

It turns out, we were wrong.

Going back to his Pitch Black origins, the simply titled Riddick finds Diesel’s fugitive trapped on another planet full of monsters with not one, but two spaceships full of mercenaries looking to collect the bounty on his head. Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Keri Hilson, Dave Bautista and Bokeem Woodbine join Diesel for the fun.

Awesome First Full-Length Trailer & Poster for Riddick with Vin Diesel

15 May 2013 12:22 PM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

If you’re anything like me, you can’t wait for Vin Diesel to return to the big screen in not one but two of the year’s most promising blockbuster sequels. First up will of course be Fast and Furious 6, which hits our screens this Friday (and next Friday, if you’re in the Us). And then all eyes will be on September, for the return of Riddick.

Diesel shared with us a brilliant first teaser trailer back in March, giving us a thirty-second glimpse at his return to the infamous character. And now Universal have released the film’s first full-length trailer, via Machinima, which is set to be attached to Fast and Furious 6 next weekend, along with an awesome new poster.

Riddick: the first trailer

15 May 2013 12:19 PM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

Trailer Ryan Lambie 15 May 2013 - 20:19

Vin Diesel digs his goggles out of the kitchen cupboard for his return to the sci-fi world of Riddick. Here's the first trailer...

Already reprising his long-running role as rumbly-voiced wheelman Dominic Toretto in this summer's Fast & Furious 6, Vin Diesel's returning to his other signature antihero this autumn: rumbly voiced mercenary, Riddick.

Diesel reunites with director David Twohy, who directed 2000's Pitch Black and both wrote and directed 2004's The Chronicles Of Riddick. This year's Riddick looks like an amalgam of those two films; the first half of the trailer's full of the CG-heavy action we saw in the 2004 spin-off, before it ventures into the monster-filled siege territory that made Pitch Black a hit.

Battlestar Galactica's Katee Sackhoff's along for the ride, while Karl Urban reprises his role as Lord Vaako. Riddick even gets some sort of alien dog sidekick this time round, »
