New ‘Riddick’ Theatrical Trailer Released!

Briefly: Following the extended, red band trailer released at Comic-Con, Universal Pictures has debuted another theatrical trailer for David Twohy’s highly anticipated Riddick.

While the new preview does feature snippets of new footage, the bulk of it is simply the same footage that we’ve seen over (and over) again. It’s definitely worth a watch, however, and certainly does a good job of reigniting my excitement for the film.

Take a look at the new trailer below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to Riddick!

Prepare for 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.

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.
