I think we can all agree The Chronicles of Riddick lost that little something along the way which made Pitch Black so impressive. Now a new Red Band Trailer has been released for Riddick, and things are looking good for the character who put Vin Diesel on the map.
While much wasn’t given away at Comic-Con – mainly because Vin Diesel just seemed delighted to be there once again in the title role, it does seem like Riddick is getting back to basics – being a bit of an anti-hero. The film seems to have captured that eerie darkness that made Pitch Black a success, and puts Riddick back in chains, cornered – a place where he’s most dangerous. But it also looks a little bit of a direct rip-off from Pitch Black at the same time. We shouldn’t complain though, we’d rather have something darker and more fantastic taking inspiration from Pitch Black rather than simply another action film.
We’ll let you judge it for yourself – be fair warned, the following trailer has scenes of strong violence!
Riddick is slated for a September 2013 release date for all cinemas, including Imax.
