In more goodness to come out of Comic-Con today is the new red-band trailer for the Vin Diesel Sci-Fi actioner, Riddick!  While I wasn’t a big fan of the 2004 sequel The Chronicles of Riddick, this film looks to be much darker and more akin to the original film, Pitch Black, with loads of creature mayhem.  We’ve got the violent red-band trailer for you right here!

Riddick is written and directed by David Twohy who also wrote and directed the first two films in the series.  The film stars Vin Diesel, Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Nolan Gerard Funk, Dave Bautista, Noah Danby, Jordi Mollà, Antoinette Kalaj, and Bokeem Woodbine.

Plot 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.
