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.

So, if you’re a fan of either ‘Pitch Black’ or ‘Chronicles Of Riddick’…you’re most likely excited for ‘Riddick’. The upcoming R-rated flick once again teams up Vin Diesel with director David Towhy. Earlier today Vin Diesel posted a new image of him holding some kind of alien skull to his Facebook page.

“Last night I was invited, by the director, to the editing room… to see an early first cut of the new Riddick…

WOW!!!

P.s. I was so affected/excited… I couldn’t sleep.

GRRRR!!!”

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.

No release date has been set yet but the film is targeted for a 2013 release.
