Vin Diesel Is The Wheelman

Variety reports that Paramount Pictures has tapped Vin Diesel to star in The Wheelman. John Singleton has been tapped to direct and Lorenzo di Bonaventura will produce this film.

The movie will be a live-action adaptation of the popular Ubisoft videogame "Wheelman."

The videogame came out last month and Diesel is the game's main character and also its producer.

Diesel is slated to play an expert driver who ends his retirement to help a woman from his past.

The script was written by Rich Wilkes. It was rewritten by Oliver Butcher and Stephen Cornwell.

    Didn't Dwayne Johnson want to do a movie version of his game, Spy Hunter, as well?

    I do like the game, but a movie would just be another Fast and Furious movie which was awesome by the way was awesome.

    The game was so over-the-top ridiculous, the movie would have to be a spoof or it will just be bad.

    The dumbest idea in history. Making a movie based on a video game that you star in, which has a movie type premise. And it just had to be the terrible John Singleton to direct this.
