This is good news! I thought the original xXx was surprisingly good. I had no interest in seeing the xXx sequel once I discovered that Vin Diesel was not going to be involved. But I have to admit, if Diesel is involved in the next one, I'm right back on board.

Unlike most people I actual reserve more respect for an actor who does NOT do another money grabing sequal, purely for the sake of more dollars, and regardless of how **** the script is.

If he had of actually been in the terrible piece of **** that was xxx2, he would have been even more crucified. So Im more inclined to second guess if I should be willing to go see any movie that has to anything to do with Rob Cohen if he's so willing to peddle out **** movies and has no regard for what the fans think.

Too much hate on Vin...don't get me wrong hollywood needs new ideas but I like what he has done...Pitch Black was awesome..F&F was fun same goes for XXX....Find me Guilty was a great acting portrayal and Babylon A.D. looks awesome.

You ARE aware that reason Diesel didn't star in the sequel is because he wanted MORE money that what the studio was willing to pay him, right? They felt he was too rich for their blood. So you just contradicted yourself.

The thing about this rumour is that it could go either way. The first one was pure blockbuster entertainment with amazing stunts, the second one sucked, I hated Ice Pube....oops was that out loud? and CGI was the films downfall. HOWEVER if Rob Cohen directs (cause he directed the first one and The Fast and the Furious) AND Vin Diesel stars.....we might have an intersting movie on our hands. The actions standards have been raised so high as of late (The Dark Knight, Casino Royale), but if this rumour is true....will Rob Cohen answer the call?
