I'm surprised that it's taken this long to get off of the ground. I thought that Vin was carrying alot more heat these days after F&F4.

The search is over as Colombia has signed Ericson Core to direct the third XXX extreme.
That would be so cool if true.

So...they're just going to ignore that direct-to-DVD short film where they killed off the Vin Diesel stand-in?

Better than acknowledging the fact that this scene was the climax of the sequel.

For those of you that have trouble seeing the clip or have never experienced the unparagoned marvel of cinema that is xXx 2: State of the Union, Ice Cube is chasing after The President of the United State's secret maglev Bullet Train in a Shelby GT, then proceeds to jump the car onto the tracks, wherein the rubber peels off from the tires, thereby turning the Shelby GT into a muscle train. He proceeds to then shoot the back of The President's secret Maglev Bullet Train and rams his car as close as he can so he may then jump off his car/train and onto the speeding bullet train.

The original XXX is the worst time I've ever had in a theater, easily beating someone getting stabbed and taking a date to The Life of David Gale.

So instead of Q, or even the geeky white dude from the first movie, they have the transgender prostitute from The 40-Year-Old Virgin as the NSA equipment specialist?

Considering his past glories, the script must have been a golden turd for Rob Cohen to have backed off.

I am definitely more XXXcited for a...Diesel powered...XXX, than the decent sequel ruined by the melting cube.

I wonder how many of these "films by marketing and demographics department" films we have to endure before executives get that "films" aren't JUST testable business products.

Did Vin Diesel swear off this franchise? Why is he back?

All i remember of that movie are Asia Argento and the "Bitches Come!" line.

Because the job offers swore off Vin Diesel.

This movie will never beat the comic genius of "State of the Union".

"I thought about you every night in prison!"

"I think about you every time I chew steak!"

Brilliant.

I don't think there is another actor besides Vin Diesel (maybe Alec Baldwin) who was on the cusp of mega stardom, but attached himself to multitudes of rotten scripts. The guy's ability to pick a project is awful.

Sorry, Vin. You blew it. 'Ahem'.

Oh well, I still like him I guess.

I interned with someone who knew him back in NYC, and had some pretty funny stories. Seems like an OK fellow.

Ha! I bet they were 'funny'.

He does seem like an okay guy, but come on Vin, everybody knows.

aparently before he was famous, he'd hang around like, little league games, making muscles and flashing his 'guns' to impress girls and win the adoration of small children. how cna you not like the guy after that story?

this is what i heard from my friend from the internship

To impress girls? Hunh.

Anyway, he does across as a really cool guy in interviews I've seen of him.

He just should've hired somebody that can pick, reject, or help develop scripts for him, because obviously he has no ability to do it himself. After Saving Private Ryan, Boiler Room and Pitch Black, everything else he's been in has been truly awful.

Let me just point out Babylon AD had a cool script, it was fucked over by fox during production. Even the director says so. That is 1/2 a brilliant film.

He'll lose all the box-office cred he got from Fast & Furious 4, isn't he?

i really hate the fast and furious films (the first one made me puke. i was at a local college screening for it and was on nutmeg at the time, and the mtv editing was too much), but i thought it was cool that his career got a boost

He was really good in Boiler Room.

This movie'll probably suck.

This dude needs to venture out and try his hand at something new and worthwhile. Notice, he's following the same route he did with the first F&F and then you see what happens after XXX.

So you're saying he will get another Riddick movie produced?

They're his only good action films (Pitch Black is not action in my book).

If you can't see that, your problem. I don't like MTV at all and i don't give a shit about cars. Still had a lot of fun with them.

Orin Quan, I definitely prefer...XXX, and it is much more action packed than any of the Fast And The Furious films. I am looking forward to...XXX3
