Full Trailer For Vin Diesel’s ‘Riddick’ Something Something ‘Ridiculous’
The picture above is not from the new Riddick movie (trailer below). The picture is, in fact, culled from Vin Diesel’s endearingly looney Facebook page. We figured he could use some motivation, because we suspect this film wasn’t as sweeping in scope as he had expected. Show More Summary
