I doubt anyone would have imagined when “Pitch Black” came out 13 years ago that its anti-hero, Riddick, would develop a rabid following and spawn a sequel.

Looks like Captain Kirk’s hubris may finally cause his undoing. I say that because it’s alluded to in the fantastic first trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness which dropped today.
