Two new promo images revealed for 'Riddick'

Actor Vin Diesel posted this image on his Facebook account Monday.

With less than two months before the release of "Riddick," the third film in the sci-fi action series starring Vin Diesel in the title role, two new promo images have been revealed by the film's Twitter account as well as Diesel himself.

The film's Twitter account revealed this promo image.

In the Sept. 9 release, Riddick (Diesel) is left for dead on another barren world and must fed off an attack of not only a band of bounty hunters but the planet indigenous, and deadly, inhabitants. "Riddick" brings the series back to its roots with a story very similar to 2000's "Pitch Black." Just how the new film ties into the 2004 sequel "Chronicles of Riddick," which ended with the Furyan as the new leader of the Necromonger empire, remains to be seen.

The new film also stars Karl Urban ("Star Trek"), Katee Sackhoff ("Battlestar Gallactica"), Dave Batista ("The Man with the Iron Fists"), Nolan Gerand Funk ("Awkward") and Noah Danby ("Defiiance").

"Riddick" was written and directed by David Twohy, who was also responsible for the first two films.
