Report: Rob Cohen drops out of “XXX 3” to do “Medieval” instead…

Leave a comment

Rob Cohen has backed out of directing “XXX 3: The Return of Xander Cage” which was supposed to re-team with action star, Vin Diesel. Rob pulled out to do a film titled, “Medieval”, instead. Rob already spoke to Vin Diesel himself about his decision and admitted it was a tough decision. Rob said he won’t be angry if the film makers decided to replace him for a director.

Hmmmm, something tells me that deep down inside Rob’s head, he didn’t really enjoy the script of the new “XXX” movie. Him saying not being angry about being replaced, is a sign that he doesn’t really like the direction of the film is going.

Report: Diesel, Cohen to return to XXX 3…

Leave a comment

Vin Diesel must of had a change of heart in sequels lately. In the past he used to turn sequels down like crazy. Now that he’s done “Fast and the Furious 4”, Diesel is now confirmed to star in “XXX 3” to reprise his role as Xander Cage with Rob Cohen helming again.

In “XXX 2: State of the Union” Ice Cube starred the leading role with a different director. Does this mean that Ice Cube will be starring alongside Vin Diesel if Cube’s character is written in the third one? There is no word if Samuel L. Jackson will star in “XXX 3” or not as he already starred in the first two. Yes, I’m sure Samuel L. Jackson will star in the third one too, they just haven’t asked him yet.

Good news. I liked the first XXX movie. Action packed. Good to see Vinny doing sequels again.

Report: “The Monster Squad” is getting a remake?

Leave a comment

Yep, you heard that right, the 1987 movie about a group of kids forming a club to kill monsters, a film titled “The Monster Squad” is getting a remake. Paramount Pictures just required the rights to get it remade. Film director Rob Cohen really wants this remake to happen, he may or may not direct the remake, but he is definitely on board for producing it.

Yep, another pointless remake that doesn’t need one.

Man, seems like all the great horror movies from the past are getting remade and I want it all to STOP! STOP! STOP!

“The Monster Squad” is fine the way it is and does not need an updated version. I love the film, I remember seeing it in the drive-in theater when it first came when I was a kid.
