New image from Riddick

I’ll be honest, I have a soft spot in my fanboy heart for Riddick.  I loved Pitch Black and I enjoyed the Chronicles of Riddick despite some of its problems, so needless to say I am very excited about the latest movie, the aptly named Riddick.

The star of the forthcoming flick, Vin Diesel has been awesome about sharring stills with fans both during and after production.  Yesterday he went on his official Facebook page and posted this and the image below:

You know I like to let you in on things, even before Hollywood knows…

Haha… Last night I was invited in to the editing room, to see the first cut of the new Riddick… WOW!!! P.s. I was so affected/excited… I couldn’t sleep. GRRRR!!!

The offical description from Universal Pictures:

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.

So what do you guys think?  Are you excited to see the deadly killer in action again?  Sound off with your thoughts and opinions in the comments below.
