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

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 »

'Riddick' Trailer: Vin Diesel Is Back and Playing for Blood

15 May 2013 2:01 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

It's been 10 years, but Vin Diesel's Riddick is still the biggest badass around. After nearly a decade since “The Chronicles of Riddick,” the Furyan fighting machine is back and as a new full-length trailer shows, he hasn't lost his lethal touch. In “Riddick,” the titular warrior has been stranded on a sun-scorched planet. “I don't know how many times I've been crossed off the list and left for dead. So this … this ain't nothing new,” he says. Soon, a ship full of bounty hunters -- among them Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, and Matt Nable -- comes looking for him. “Yet again, we play for blood,” Riddick growls. And they're not even his biggest threat. As a storm breaks out over the planet, deadly alien predators threaten to tear everyone to pieces. “Riddick” hits theaters September 6. »

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:

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, »

We’ve just unleashed the first full trailer for gravel-voiced hardman Vin Diesel’s futuristic return as blade-wielding antihero Riddick, and we’re quick to follow it up with a very cool new poster and new stills from the film hitting cinemas 6th September.

Watch the New Trailer for Riddick

15 May 2013 11:30 AM, PDT | DailyDead | See recent DailyDead news »

We saw a brief teaser trailer for Riddick in March, but Universal has just released the first official trailer for the movie with over two minutes of footage.

“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.”

Riddick Is On The Run. Again. [Trailer]

15 May 2013 11:27 AM, PDT | QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news »

Now I'm really confused. It was already pretty clear that Riddick would follow more along the lines of Pitch Black than The Chronicles of Riddick but I didn't realize it was a sort of remake of the original. Hey, I'm as big a fan of this franchise as anyone else (I actually really liked Chronicles even though it didn't always make sense) but I was hoping for some sort of natural continuation to the story and not a rehash of the first movie.
