• Title: Riddick
• IMDB: link

We now have our first trailer and teaser poster for Riddick, the third entry into the franchise which returns Vin Diesel as the title character who finds himself once again marooned on a nearly barren world fighting off an alien menace. Well, at least they’re looking to remake Pitch Black instead of the incredibly dumb Chronicles of Riddick. Karl Urban, Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Nolan Gerard Funk, and Noah Danby also star. Apparently not quite good enough for a summer release, Riddick opens in theaters on September 6th.

Variety is reporting Tom Cruise has signed on for Mission: Impossible 5. Although IMDb lists Christopher McQuarrie (who wrote Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) as both writer and director for the project no official announcements have been made for either position (or about any other characters possibly returning for the next installment)
