Riddick Trailer

Riddick

There are a few USPs from Riddick, one of which would be the actor Vin Diesel playing the main role of Riddick. Vin Diesel has been known for his many high budget, fast paced action films such as: Fast and Furious, xXx. This gives the film the advantage of having an action movie star as their lead role, allowing the film to reach out the fans of the actors as this means that the film will be appealing to more than just people who enjoy the story. Another aspect to this film would be the fact that is it apart of a trilogy. Riddick is the third film following The Chronicles of Riddick and The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury. This means that the film is going to have a huge reach out to the fans of the Riddick trilogy.

The begging of the trailer shows a bird like creature flying over a rocky wasteland, this sets the location of the film to the audience as we now know that Riddick is going to have to deal with more than just Bounty Hunters that are pursuing him, but also the harsh environment, but as people who have seen the previous Riddick films would know, Riddick is a man who can survive nearly anything. This means that the audience are raised with question "how is Riddick going to use the environment against his enemy's? or how is it going to challenge him?"
Riddick has a defined dress code, he is always seen with his signature goggles, which are most likely used to protect his eyes from the harsh sand storms that are likely to appear out in the sandy, rocky wasteland. Also known for his glowing silver eyes, we know that these give him the ability to see in the dark, meaning night is when he is at his most dangerous. As we see from the trailer Riddick is a strongly built man, meaning the audience are expecting a lot of high action fight scenes and moments when pure strength are used, but now we add in his ability to be able to use the darkness against his enemy's we now get the aspect that stealth will be a highly used aspect.
We open to Riddick narrating "I don't know how many times I've been crossed off the list and been left for dead." this allows the audience to get that full feeling of how indestructible Riddick is but also adds to the story, does being 'killed' this many times mean that Riddick had a personal vendetta against these people? adding question are the main aspect of a trailer which is going to be able to bring the audience in as we crave knowledge. We've asked the question, now we need the answer.
