Vin Diesel Talks Terminator 3 and Hellboy

By Azad September 2, 2001 2:14 PM

In an interview with Empire Online UK, Vin Diesel addressed several rumors about his future film roles, primarily focusing on Hellboy and Terminator 3. With regard to his rumored lead role in the upcoming adaptation of the Hellboy comic series from director Guillermo del Toro, Diesel said, "They've told me to keep quiet about it."

Then, Diesel added, "You know why I like Hellboy? I like Hellboy for the same reason I liked The Iron Giant. This guy's just ambivalent about his strength. He's like this cool guy who doesn't understand his strength, and he goes through life like a bull in a china shop. I love it."

As for the proposed third installment in the Terminator franchise, Diesel said, "I haven't seen the script yet." Diesel is rumored to be up for the role of a villainous cyborg.

And for the upcoming sequel to the SciFi film Pitch Black, Diesel was enthusiastic about it. It looks that the sequel is to be called The Chronicles of Riddick. "I read the script, and suffice it to say I like it a lot," he said, who will reprise the same role as the anti-hero convict.

Didn't she die in Pitch Black?

Yes, she did, but has that ever stopped the pillars of integrity in Hollywood?

Pitch Black 2? Give it a rest. The first one sucked! All movies with "2" in their title should be banned. If a movie isn't an original idea it should be banned. What's wrongh with Hollywood these days - remakes and sequels. What a sad state of affairs.

Vin Weasel is GOD.  He would have been great as the lead in that new "Rock Star" movie also.

I agree, but since it isn't called Pitch Black 2, its called "The Cronicles of Riddick" then my guess is its not so much a sequel, but a different story based on a very cool character.

RE: Vin Diesel Film Talk   reply

It should be called "The Riddick-ulous Chronicles".

Vin could easily kick Marky Marks ass, but I bet Marky could rap better, cause he's a pro rapper. Word!

So by your definition, The Godfather 2, Toy Story 2, The Empire Strikes Back,  Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade...etc."should be banned." A sad state of affairs indeed.

Sequels are notoriously bad, but you forgot to mention a couple other greats. How about Terminator 2 or the Road Warrior (Mad Max 2).

RE: Vin Diesel Film Talk   reply

And don't forget about Speed 2 or Honey I Blew up the Kid.  Both true classics.

Son of Smithy and CorneliusD are right on the money. Why should any of us have to endure 100 sequels to find 2 or 3 good movies?

RE: Vin Diesel Film Talk   reply

Thats how the almighty bottom line of Hollywood works.  (Did anyone actually see Speed II?  It was one of the worst movies ever.  The ending was ridiculous)  But if they're running out of sequel ideas here are a few:

Rad II: Radder

My Science Project II

As many "Leprechaun" movies as they can make

Gleaming the Cube II (or "My Brother's Killer II" if it's on TV)

A sequel to that Jay Leno and Pat Morita cop movie (I can't remember the name)

Stop!  Or my Mom Will Shoot II

Do you even know what his first movie was CALLED? I could name his whole carrer off the top of my head! As far as Pitch Black 2 goes, I think it'll be a prequel.
