The latest trailer for Vin Diesel‘s Riddick recalls the claustrophobic nature of Pitch Black, even adding some dark moments of levity.
The sci-fi film — the third entry in a franchise that began in 2000 with a basic thriller, then morphed into a space epic for a 2004 sequel — sees the antihero left on a desolate planet as mercenaries and hostile aliens chase him.
COMIC-CON: Vin Diesel Hopes to Relaunch a Franchise With ‘Riddick’
The clip, teased with the line “Rule the Dark,” showcases the grittier revival of the series. It appears to be a more PG-13 version of a red-band trailer that was released a few weeks ago.
“When the audience wanted it rated R, we knew we didn’t have to spend $200 million to make this movie,” Vin Diesel told an audience at Comic-Con in July.
The film, set for release by Universal, will hit theaters Sept. 6.
