XXX: State of the Union

[Brian in Mesa]

Vin Diesel - out.

Ice Cube - in.

100% serious.

Evidently Vin wants to focus on Hannibal, his first film after Pitch Black 2: Chronicles of Riddick.

Description: Hannibal stars Vin Diesel as the Carthaginian general from the third century B.C.. The general, known for his tactical genius, led an elephant army through the Alps into Italy to do battle with the Romans. Diesel will also produce the film with George Zakk.

I'm down for Pitch Black 2, and I've heard of and have been anxiously awaiting Hannibal for a long, LONG time. I can't wait for that one!

Unfortunately, I won't be watching XXX2. What's the point, now? Xander IS Diesel.

You think the idea of a XXX movie without Vin as Xander Cage is bad? They KILLED Xander off...on the Extreme DVD version of XXX...

"The Final Chapter: The Death of Xander Cage" with Khristian Lupo as Xander Cage

Here's more on it: XXX Director's Cut DVD

XXX had to be, hands down, one of the most horrible movies I've ever seen.

Then again I've never seen Gigli.

I think I'll pass on this one and let the sales come from the 18-22 year old boy demographic.

I was tricked into seeing the first one. This one actually looks better. The plot of the last one was moronic so I suppose anything else is an upgrade.

 

[vince56]

Well, I guess this movie will appeal to people who were actually entertained enough with Bad Boys that it necessitated a Bad Boys II.

 

[vince56]

Yeah, oh hey BTW a heat seeking missile is really going to find a cigarette


What a bad movie XXX was... and this is coming from a guy that was entertained by Pitch Black and I like both of the Star Wars Prequels

 

[mdamien13]

The trailer for Land of the Dead is supposed to be playing before this . . . I may have to sneak in to catch that.
