About.com spoke with S.W.A.T. producer Neil Moritz who says that XXX director and star Asia Argento won't be returning for the sequel. Vin Diesel also won't be battling pirates, as was reported, in the follow-up which starts filming next summer.

 

"No, it's not pirates. I can tell you that it takes place in the United States." The switch has nothing to do with Pirates of the Caribbean stealing the pirate movie thunder. "We just ultimately decided that this fit the characters better, or actually was something a little different than what you'd expect."

 

Where XXX had exotic foreign locales, Moritz promised an equal spectacle for the U.S. based sequel. "It's not necessarily that it has to be exotic. It just has to be really cinematic. There's plenty in the United States that we can have."

 

XXX2 is expected to hit theaters in the summer of 2005.

 

Eh...

 

F*** is the point ?

 

No Rob Cohen ? No Asia Argento ? Blah.

[Guest Ripper]

The fuck was the point of that first steaming pile of crap?

[Guest razazteca]

Never like Asia Argento anyway, I just hope that neither Mc G nor F Gary Gray direct the movie.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Probably McG... I hate that name.

 

I can't see F Gary Gray directing it, although he and Mr. Diesel are good buddies.

[Guest razazteca]

If McG directed the movie it would be a 2 hour music video with 80s metal.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

...so?

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

Ala Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle...

 

Although, I did like it.

I wish.

 

I don't see a shock about Asia. This is supposed to be Gen X Bond. So there's gonna be a new XXX Chick everytime. I'll miss her, but this just means there will be some other hot chick there, so what.

 

I am shocked that Rob Cohen didnt come back. Him and Vin seem to be such BUTT buddies. Remember Vin didn't do 2F2F because Cohen wouldn't.

[Guest Prototype450]

I say Eve [X's producer friend from the first one] will be the XXX chick this time around. Or that hot reporter chick from the first XXX.

[Guest eiker_ir]

crappy movie, crappy sequel i predict.

[Guest El Satanico]

Pirates? I hope they meant modern day Pirates and not Aaaarrrr Matey Pitares.

[Guest Nevermortal]

I say Eve [X's producer friend from the first one] will be the XXX chick this time around.

I hope not, she looks like a beast.

I like Eve but the Olsen Twins would rule.

I would have liked it better had Bill Murray returned. If only him and Lucy didn't get into their damn squabble... Not that I got anything against Bernie Mac, he's a great and funny guy, but Bill just played the role better.

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

I hope Sam Jackson's role is extended in the sequel.

 

And get a better "Villian". The one from the first was boring as fuck, looked like he didn't want to be there.

[Guest El Satanico]

None of those things would've made the original better and they won't make the sequel good.

 

Everything about XXX was horrid and the only thing that would've made it slightly better would've been Asia getting naked. By the way I actually like Vin so this isn't coming from someone who doesn't like Vin.

 

XXX was terrible on every level and nothing good can come of XXXX, unless a decent director takes the project for some reason.

[Guest Prototype450]

You my man think like a genius.

Blah. Board ate my post, so to sum it up...every role in which Samuel L. Jackson is a tough, smart-aleck guy is a rip-off of Jules. However, they're all poor rip-offs because they lack Jules fantastic dialogue. Thus, unless they can give him some good dialogue, Jackson would be a waste in an increased role, much as he was a waste in the first film (which I actually enjoyed).

[Guest Choken One]

How was the dude from Unbreakable a rip-off of Jules?

[Rendclaw 0]

r his character in the first two star Wars movies?

[Guest MissMattitude]

I seem to be one of the ones who liked XXX, it was just a movie that you didn't need a brain for which awesome stunts.

 

Won't be the same with no Rob Cohen though.

[Ripper 0]

r his character in the first two star Wars movies?

Or that dude from Caveman's Valentine...

[Guest El Satanico]

Mindless action movies are fine IN MODERATION and I have no problem with good ones, but XXX was just garbage.

 

There's a difference between mindless and fun popcorn movies and mindless garbage.

[Guest Lethargic]

I thought XXX was a great action movie. Light years better than any other spy movie I've seen a long time.

All right, ya got me. Not all of them (surprised anyone else has seen Caveman's Valentine, most people I talk to haven't even heard of it). But what matters is that his character in xXx is, or at least seemed to be to me.
