Check Out Batista Battling Vin Diesel in a New Riddick Pic

– Here is a new pic from Vin Diesel’s Facebook page of the actor in character and taking on none other than Dave Batista’s merc character in Riddick. The film also stars Karl Urban, Jordi Molla, Matt Nable, Katee Sackhoff, Bokeem Woodbine, Conrad Pla, Raoul Trujillo, Nolan Funk and Keri Hilson and opens on September 6th.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he’s encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.

The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won’t leave the planet without Riddick’s head as their trophy.
