Vin Diesel Stars In New Badass ‘Riddick’ Trailer

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

The first full length Riddick trailer has made its way online, and from the looks of things, the upcoming film may be filled with even more badass Vin Diesel and strange dangerous creatures than the first installment, Pitch Black.

Aside from Vin Diesel, Riddick stars Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Jordi Mollà, Matt Nable, Bokeem Woodbine, Raoul Trujillo, and Nolan Gerard Funk.

Judging from the trailer, writer/director David Twohy returned to the original themes featured in Pitch Black, abandoned those introduced in the interplanetary debacle known as Chronicles of Riddick. For instance, the army of Necromongers, which Riddick unintentionally picked up in the previous installment, are nowhere in sight.

Instead we see our antihero is left for dead on a harsh overheated and desolate planet. As usual a small army of bounty hunters are looking to cash in on his head. But Riddick is not going easily and those creepy looking alien creatures are not making his extraction a cake walk either. So of course a battle for survival ensues, but we’ll have to wait until September 6 to see who survives.

Until then, enjoy the Riddick trailer below…

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

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.
