Video: New redband trailer lands for Riddick Simon Fitzjohn July 17, 2013 Editor's Choice, Latest News and Videos 1708 OK, so I’m not about to come out and say The Chronicles Of Riddick was one of the best slices of big-screen sci-fi from recent years, because it wasn’t. But it was certainly better than a lot of people gave it credit for – in my opinion anyways. And, let us not forget Vin Diesel’s creation was first unleashed in the truly memorable Pitch Black, one of the best low-budget, expectation-exceeding offerings of the last 20 years. All of that is why I’m more than willing to cut Riddick some slack, and am actually quite looking forward to the next instalment when it lands in September. A new trailer has landed in the last 24 hours and suggests something edging back more towards the first ‘nasty creatures on a bad planet’ vibe, which can surely only be a good thing. Yes, there seems to be a bit too much dodgy CGI for my liking, but let’s stay optimistic about this one. Starring the likes of Katie Sackhoff, Karl Urban and WWE star Batista and once again directed by David Twohy, Riddick hits cinemas on September 4.
