A transport ship containing 40 passengers heading to other worlds for, among other reasons, settling, New Mecca, and for one passenger, Riddick, another cell. The ship encounters a tiny meteor storm and crash lands on a barren planet with only 1/4 of its complement surviving. Survival is tough with Riddick on the loose and no water in sight. However, come nightfall, they have even more to fear…

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.
David Twohy and Vin Diesel have reunited for Riddick, the third film in the Pitch Black franchise, and we finally get the first full length trailer (via Machinima) after a brief tease two months ago! I imagine this will be attached to Fast & Furious 6, whose existence Diesel likely used as a bargaining chip to get this film made.
“Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

Right now it looks like this movie has the violence and scale of Pitch Black, but with the CG and bright lighting of Chronicles. We’ve also got some stills and a new poster below! READ MORE
It’s still interesting to me that both David Twohy and Vin Diesel reunited for Riddick, the third film in the Pitch Black franchise. Frankly, if it weren’t for Disel and his relationship with Universal and the Fast & Furious films, I guarantee this movie wouldn’t even exist. But thanks to those awesome flicks we get to see Diesel return as Riddick it the R-rated sequel on September 6. Universal has just unveiled the teaser trailer that’s CGI heavy, but still looks pretty fun.

Crazy old news resurrected as Deadline is reporting The Crazies director Breck Eisner has been set to helm The Last Witch Hunter, and Riddick‘s Vin Diesel is still in talks to star. The film is being co-financed by Summit Entertainment and Emmett/Furla Films. TheWrap had previously reported this news back in September of 2012. It looks like they just want you guys to know they still wanna make the movie? Eh?
In the Cory Goodman-scripted film, the protagonist is an immortal witch hunter who partners with his natural enemy, a female witch, to stop the covens of New York City from unleashing a plague on humanity.
Summit is out to Diesel to play the Witch Hunter. Goodman’s script made the 2010 Black List.
While I enjoy Vin Diesel’s Facebook image updates for Riddick, they’ve been a bit monochromatic. Now he breaks up the brown look with a bit of blue in this new image from the David Twohy directed sequel due in theaters September 6 from Universal. Diesel writes, “It has been 9 years since the Chronicles of Riddick was released… all along I knew I would eventually have to return to that dark place, the mind of an Alpha Furyan…”
Karl Urban, Nolan Funk, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk and Keri Hilson fill the cast in which “Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.

The followup to Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick, Universal’s R-rated Riddick reteams Vin Diesel as the title character with director David Towhy. There isn’t an official release date just yet, but there is a French poster (via Cineheroes).
Here’s the official plot crunch: “Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before. Soon bounty hunters from throughout the galaxy descend on Riddick only to find themselves pawns in his greater scheme for revenge. With his enemies right where he wants them, Riddick unleashes a vicious attack of vengeance before returning to his home planet of Furya to save it from destruction.”

Director David Twohy has updated his official blog with some updates on the long-gestured Riddick, which is currently in post-production for release via Universal Pictures.
In the update, Twohy sneaks in a shot of the film’s logo, along with your first look at Karl Urban as Vaako, which Bloody broke the news on what feels like years ago.
Says the director: “Feels like I’m back in production!
“Been pulling 14-hour days trying to finish RIDDICK. My typical day starts at 9am with intensive visual effects meetings, sweating out the details of our 900 VFX shots. Then I jet across town to the mix stage, Soundelux, where I supervise the sound, balancing out the often-competing elements of music, sound fx, sound design, and dialog. At night I hit the lab, Technicolor in Hollywood, staying until midnight to do “DI work” — color-correction of the movie. This is where David Eggby and I have one last chance to get the images right, dropping in grads and power windows to finesse what we shot on set. It’s a great tool, the Digital Intermediate. Kind of like Photoshop for movies. Gotta love it. Gotta love the challenge of bringing it all home.” READ MORE
Per The Wrap, Vin Diesel (Riddick, Fast Five) is in talks to star in The Last Witch Hunter for Lionsgate/Summit. The film is set to be directed by Breck Eisner (The Crazies) and written by Cory Goodman (who sold his pitch two years ago when Timur Bekmambetov was attached to direct). Adam Goldworm (“Masters Of Horror”) is exec producing.
The film, “follows one of the last remaining witch hunters, who is charged with discouraging a group of witches and warlocks from reproducing.”
Even though I’m not a huge fan of either Pitch Black or Chronicles of Riddick, I can’t help but get excited for Universal’s R-rated Riddick, which reteams Vin Diesel as the title character with director David Towhy. Diesel took to his Facebook page once again to reveal yet another badass image.
Said Diesel: “Last night I was invited in to the editing room, to see the first cut of the new Riddick…
WOW!!!
P.s. I was so affected/excited… I couldn’t sleep.
GRRRR!!!”
Here’s the official plot crunch: “Betrayed by his own kind and left for dead on a desolate planet, Riddick (Diesel) fights for survival against alien predators and becomes more powerful and dangerous than ever before.

For a long time, the good money was on David Twohy and Vin Diesel never getting Riddick off the ground. The third film in the Pitch Black franchise was but a pipe dream for its star. But things have changed (more specifically, Fast Five happened) and here we are. The film is now shot and in post, but that hasn’t stopped Vin from updating his Facebook page with new images.
Per Diesel, “A still from the Riddick set this year… we are in post and I can’t tell you how excited I am to see it manifest. You all were such a part of it becoming a reality… willed it into being, so to speak…”
Riddick also stars Karl Urban, Nolan Funk, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk and Keri Hilson, “The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless.

While David Twohy is in post-production on Riddick, the third film in the Pitch Black franchise, franchise star Vin Diesel is already talking more sequels.
Taking to his personal Facebook, where most of the news breaks have occurred, Diesel explains: “I think they [Universal] are liking what they are seeing… haha, cause they asked when both Underverse and Furya would be ready to make and release… haha… now that’s a ways in the future but it is exciting.” Haha. “Furya” refers to the Riddick character’s home world, while “Underverse” is the “promised land” to the Necromongers.
He also adds that, while he was hoping for a release this year, the studio said the earliest they could release the new Riddick is in January. “But, it’s on the horizon,” he teases. Haha.
In Riddick, starring Diesel, Karl Urban, Nolan Funk, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk and Keri Hilson, “The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless.

Mercenaries figure pretty heavily into the plot of David Twohy’s Vin Diesel starring Riddick, and here are a few of the badasses on his tail. See if you can spot the former MMA fighter in the group! Hint, he’s one of the ones who’s not Nolan Funk (or David Twohy)!
Riddick also sees the return of Karl Urban (Star Trek) as Vaako and introduces to the series previously announced cast member Jordi Molla as Santana, the arrogant captain of the mercenary ship; Matt Nable (Killer Elite) as Boss Johns, a man looking for answers; Katee Sackhoff (TV’s Battlestar Galactica) as the Nordic mercenary Dahl; and Bokeem Woodbine (Total Recall) as bounty hunter Moss. Rounding out the cast are Dave Bautista (The Scorpion King 3: Battle for Redemption), Conrad Pla (Immortals), Raoul Trujillo (Apocalypto), Nolan Funk (Aliens in America) and two-time Grammy Award-nominated singer Keri Hilson.
