xXx: The Return of Xander Cage

[Brian in Mesa]

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ericson Core (Invincible) will direct XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, Columbia Pictures' third installment in the franchise. Neal Moritz and Joe Roth are producing.

Vin Diesel is reprising the role he originated in the 2002 movie, directed by Rob Cohen. Diesel and Cohen skipped the 2005 sequel, XXX: State of the Union, which starred Ice Cube and was directed by Lee Tamahori.

Core, a cinematographer-turned-director, worked as DP on Diesel's 2001 film The Fast and the Furious.

John Brancato and Michael Ferris (Terminator Salvation) wrote the script for "Xander Cage." It involves Cage's return to the National Security Agency after an eight-year absence. Richard Wilkes, who wrote the original movie, did a recent polish.

I have to be honest here. At the time I liked the first movie just from an action popcorn standpoint. If this movie had come out 5 years ago, I might have cared. I just am not interested in the franchise after the abomination of a sequel starring Ice T.

Looks interesting but man....seems like it's too far removed from the 1st film. The second one wasn't very good.

The skiing part looks to fake, other then that, looks interesting.

Aw, what the heck, we like Vin Diesel, I'm sure we'll give it a chance.

Enjoyed the first one, but time and the awful second one killed the franchise.

Looks awful, but at least it's got Donnie Yen and Tony Jaa. I guess.

Watched this last night. Enjoyable popcorn flick, but honestly if I walked into the movie half-way through, I would have thought it was another Fast and Furious movie.
