With Vin Diesel all of a sudden a hot commodity with the unexpected success of the recent “Fast & Furious” movie, many are wondering what Vin will attach himself to next.

According to the always accurate IMDB, Vin is in pre-production on “The Wheelman” for director John Singleton, “Rockfish” – as a voice actor, and “xXx: The Return of Xander Cage” for director Rob Cohen.

Of course which project he picks depends on many things, but having a good script is usually the starting point. So when I attended this weekend’s press junket for “Terminator Salvation”, I decided to ask screenwriters Michael Ferris and John D. Brancato how the script was coming along for “xXx”, as they're writing it.

While John was busy talking to someone else, I did get a moment with Michael and he said, “We’re actually delivering a draft next week. So far the studio seems very enthusiastic about it. Rob Cohen is really excited. I think Vin Diesel is tentatively committed pending script approval. With any luck at all, we’ll get a green light in the immediate future and have something by next year."

When I tried to ask where they might be sending him or what the film is about, that’s where our brief conversation ended.
