After The Chronicles Of Riddick bombed, most thought that would be the last we’d see of the character of Riddick, but Vin Diesel and director David Twohy really love the character and so have stripped back the budget for a third movie featuring the character. Now the first, very brief, teaser is here.
And it is very brief, just 22 seconds, but the images it shows look pretty cool.
Here’s the plot synopsis: ‘In the film, 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 hes 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 wont leave the planet without Riddicks head as their trophy.’
It should hit cinemas this autumn.
