Columbia Pictures is in negotiations with producer Joe Roth to develop a new version of
xXx, and plans to bring back Vin Diesel as star and Rob Cohen as director.
According to
Variety, the pair teamed on the 2002 original, which starred Diesel as Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast who gets drafted by the government for a dangerous mission.
Roth controls the property because the original film was made by his Revolution Studios, which was also behind
XXX: State of the Union, a sequel that starred Ice Cube and was directed by Lee Tamahori.
The third incarnation has a title,
xXx: The Return of Xander Cage, but no script.
Diesel has agreed to return and so has Cohen, but talent deals won't be worked out until the studio pact is made.
No word on when production will begin.

idk maybe in the movie they all think hes dead too and how he survived whatever was the cause of his "death" will be worked in the movie for like the intro
they had no right to put Ice Cube in XXX:State of the Union
he really screwed up the Mummy 3
Vin Diesel can at least try to get his career forwards instead of backwards
lets al hope this new one will be waaaaaay better.
