After reading a couple of his trade magazines, and his unreasonable salary demands, Vin Diesel is out in the sequel to his action his film, XXX.

He was seeking $20 million plus a cut of the box office, so the producers have replaced Diesel with Ice Cube (Anaconda) who will be cast as another Extreme Action Star. Samuel L. Jackson will reprise his role from the original movie.

Do you folks think this is the end of Vin Diesel?? if not the you think his sequel to Pitch Black will resurrect his career??

Or what up and coming with be the new Action Star??

I generally like Diesel as an actor, and I've liked all of his movies, with the exception of XXX, which is probably the lamest action film of recent years, and I still think the problem didn't lie with Diesel, but with Rob Cohen, who's one of the worst directors out there. If Diesel's out, I say lose the director too.

As for Diesel being a greedy bastard...which major Hollywood star ISN'T? He definately doesn't deserve 20 mil so early in the game though.

I'll still see Pitch Black 2, and I DO like that they replaced Diesel with Ice Cube, he's a great actor.

One up and comer who I wanna see more of instead of Diesel is The Rock, after The Rundown, it appears he could show up Diesel or at least be good competition.

Whoops, I said replace Rob Cohen as director, and then I go to imdb and it appears he's dropped out too. There might be hope for the XXX series yet.

well even though i dont love Vin Diesel, i dont know about cube playing a role in a sequel to a movie like xxx... You'd think that would be meant for another 'Diesel-type actor'. Just my few pennies really, but what the hell? Ice cube's ok at action (sucked in ghost of mars) and alot better at comedy... so i think its a little wierd, but none the less i do like him so maybe it will be cooler then xxx cuz it kinda stunk anyways..

I don't think it's the end for him. Especially if the Chronicles of Riddick is a hit. But his demands is too high. He's not all that. He does need to watch it. Or we won't get any offers. And I think Ice Cube as a replacement was a bad choice. If they wanted someone more Diesel like. They could have picked the Rock. At least his acting abilities is very similiar to Diesels. Not very good.

Ice Cube is way better at dramatic roles rather than comedy. Don't get me wrong, he rules in the Friday series, but he's awesome in Three Kings, and I loved his performance in Ghosts of Mars. In fact, I'd rather see a Chronicles of Desolation rather than Chronicles of Riddick any day. Maybe they could do a retarded Desolation vs Riddick (this IS Hollywood after all...)

I honestly believe that he thinks that working with Rob Cohen was the smart move (he followed him with the XXX series rather than working with John Singleton on 2 Fast 2 Furious), and that he's so damn good, he should be given what he's demanded, no questions asked. I've seen the guy in interviews, he's a conceited fuck.

True Diesel asked way too much for 2 Fast 2 Furious. But is there any doubt the picture would have done considerably more with him in it. 2 Fast bombed without Diesel!
