xXx and Fast & Furious

xXx is an interestingly titled movie that came out in 2002 starring Vin Diesel. A sequel later came out in 2005 called xXx: State of the Union, starring Ice Cube.
Both films also co-starred Samuel L. Jackson.

After starring in the flop Babylon A.D., Diesel is set to hit it big in theaters with two new movies that are sequels. Fast and Furious, fourth film in the franchise, returns to the roots of the first film with both Diesel and Paul Walker returning to reprise their roles from the classics road racing flick. Diesel will also be reprising his previous role from xXx in the new film directed by Rob Cohen (who directed both the first Fast and the Furious and xXx).

xXx III.

"Yes, they're doing it with me and producer Joe Roth," Rob Cohen said. “We made the deal recently, it's named xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. We met the writers yesterday and we're trying to get into production by late spring, to have it out for the summer of 2010."

Cohen recently directed the film The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.


Fast and Furious comes out June 12, 2009.
