Ice Cube Is The Next “xXx”; Diesel Out
‘XXX’ revs up with Ice Cube, Tamahori
“XXX” will be back — but its star and director will not. Vin Diesel and director Rob Cohen have opted out of the sequel to the 2002 actioner about an extreme athlete-turned-secret agent, prompting Revolution Studios to tap Ice Cube to star and “Die Another Day” helmer Lee Tamahori to direct the second installment of the franchise, which will begin production in the summer and hit theaters in 2005. According to Revolution, all parties involved determined that the franchise was best served by the introduction of a new “XXX” character in each film. Although Diesel and Cohen will not reprise their roles for the sequel, they will remain executive producers on the project.
