So yeah, that proposed XXX: The Return of Xander Cage film? The one I've been quietly hoping would just go away and be forgotten about since director Rob Cohen dropped out? Apparently this thing's got another life to use up, because Columbia has seen fit to hire a new director rather than letting the project just die. The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Invincible helmer, Ericson Core, has been brought on to continue the adventures of Vin Diesel's snowboarding, Argento-bangin' adventurer. Never mind that Diesel's character was killed off on the DVD of XXX: State of the Union in a short film titled XXX: The Death of Xander Cage. But since nobody really saw or liked State of the Union, I guess that doesn't matter. It can all be retconned away(comic book terminology, sorry). They could just say that the Xander that was shot was a life model decoy...or a clone.....or Curly from the Three Stooges. Somethin'.
I was no fan of either XXX movie. The original only has a place in my heart because of the hotness of Asia Argento, and the hilarious treatment given to the film's villains. The Ice Cube sequel is best left forgotten.
