Certainly for myself, Vin Diesel’s best acting effort easily came in 1999 science-fiction sleeper hit PITCH BLACK, so I’m stoked to see his return as the ruthless conflicted character Richard B. Riddick. This despite enjoyable, if overblown sequel THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK, which, while no means a dire effort, attempted to strip down his mysterious sight-adjusted serial-killing renegade into a more cuddly and generic action (anti)hero.
Diesel is back alongside writer/director/co-creator David Twohy, for this simply-titled sequel – RIDDICK. It sees the hunted intergalactic outlaw crash landing on a grotesque creature-filled planet. However, he has a sinister, selfish plan all of his own to survive by notifying the mercenary bounty hunters after his head of his whereabouts, and steal one of their ships to make his escape. All while they’re fighting for their lives against the marauding monsters!
RIDDICK will be released in cinemas from 6th September with the film co-starring Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Dave Bautista, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Gerard Funk and Keri Hilson.
