Brand New Photos From Vin Diesel’s Riddick Sequel

We’ve been hard pressed to find any information about Vin Diesel’s newest movie in the Riddick line, but today the actor unveiled two new photos through his Facebook. They’re pretty damn epic looking, so they definitely bode well for the film. Check them out below…

I was wondering if this immediately followed the events in The Chronicles of Riddick, but according to the official synopsis (posted below), this doesn’t really have a clear cut connection.

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.
