Vin Diesel can be seen in his former star roles this year, although he won't be in four blockbusters like his fellow actor Dwayne Johnson, but two big action films are a start. On the one hand we get to see Vin in the adrenaline-packed «Fast & Furious 6» and on the other hand as the light-sensitive Riddick. Already in 2000 and 2004 he played the bad-tempered anti-hero in the science fiction action film "Pitch Black - Planet of Darkness" and the sequel "Riddick - Chronicles of a Warrior". Whereas Pitch Black was able to score due to its visuals and the successful action inserts, the sequel failed at the box office.
In the following first trailer for "Riddick: Dead Man Stalking" we see that director David Twohy, who also directed the predecessors, tries to stick to the concept of the good pitch black. On a sun-scorched, seemingly deserted planet, Riddick is left to die. In order to stand a chance against the brutal alien creatures, he fights for survival alongside bounty hunters who are actually after Riddick himself. The trailer for Riddick promises a successful look and good action scenes. Exactly what we can expect from the film won't be revealed until autumn of this year...
