Vin Diesel Looks Beaten Down in Photo From New ‘Riddick’ Movie

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

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 started shooting way back in January 2012.

But our time without the Alpha Furyan is almost over. Universal will be releasing the movie in September of this year, which means that it will probably be a few months until we see any actual footage, but thanks to Vin Diesel’s Facebook page we’re never in short supply of stills.

Once again acting as his own publicist – as he has time and time again – the action star has taken to the social media platform to post a new image from Riddick.

But unlike most of the shots that Diesel has posted before, which have the star posing as a badass, the latest one has the eponymous hero looking a little beaten down. The photo comes with the caption “The fate of the Alpha Furyan…September 6th!” which sounds pretty bleak.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
