    I will readily admit I am excited about Riddick. Despite all the crap I give Vin Diesel, I liked [amazon_link id=”B001RTCP1A” target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Pitch Black[/amazon_link] and [amazon_link id=”B001RTCP10″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]The Chronicles of Riddick[/amazon_link]. Now this September he and director David Twohy are ready to finish their trilogy. Images have slowly been getting out on the new adventure which will see Riddick stranded on a planet being hunted by the alien inhabitants and hunters trying to collect a bounty on his head.

    The newest shot to make its way online has a decidedly Game of Thrones look to it except instead of the doomed Sean Bean on the Iron Throne we get Riddick sitting atop a throne of bones. Why I did not call it the Bone Throne should be painfully obvious to you or any woman I have gone out with.

    Riddick releases on September 6th.

  • Riddick Set To Return In September

    Vin Diesel’s Riddick is now set to return to theaters next year. The third film in the series will release on September 6, 2013 in theaters and IMAX.

    The movie has been a labor of love for Diesel and director David Twohy, who directed Pitch Black and The Chronicles of Riddick, who have been trying to get the movie made since 2006.

    A plot synopsis has the film having a very different tone than The Chronicles of Riddick sounding more like Pitch Black.

    “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.”

    Along with Diesel, Karl Urban is returning as Vaako and will be joined by Katee Sackhoff and Dave Bautista.
