Third XXX Film is Moving Forward!
Vin Diesel and Sam Jackson WILL return!
A third XXX film is on the way, for better or worse! Columbia Pictures is in negotiations with Paramount to take over the franchise, with an expected release date of 2011 or 2012. (As long is it doesn't get in the way of Sam playing Nick Fury in those Marvel movies, I'm cool with it!) Also returning will be Rob Cohen as director, and the film will reunite him with Vin Diesel, star of the first flick. Ready for the big surprise? (Use sarcasm here...) The newest XXX film will be shot with 3D cameras! You gotta have 3D nowadays, right? I guess!
Joe Roth, who headed up the first two movies, had originally licensed the third installment to Columbia Pictures. Eventually though, the studio scrapped the decision to move forward. Roth had little trouble convincing Paramount to take the film on though since he has recently tasted success by producing Alice in Wonderland and acting as executive producer for an upcoming Tom Cruise movie, "Knight and Day".
The plot: Xander Cage (Diesel) has been left for dead, but comes back to accomplish a mission that only he can do. Samuel L. Jackson will return to his role as Agent Augustus Gibbons, and most of the storyline will take place in Europe. Filming will start once yet another installment of "The Fast and the Furious" wraps.
Is it just me, or does Vin Diesel seem to be returning to franchises more and more these days?
