Variety has reported that Columbia Pictures is in discussions with producer Joe Roth for a new version of "XXX," one that would bring back Vin Diesel as star and Rob Cohen as director.
The duo teamed up on the 2002 original, which starred Diesel as Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast who gets drafted by the government for a dangerous mission.
The third incarnation has a title, "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage," but no script.
Diesel has agreed to return and so has Cohen, but talent deals won’t be worked out until the studio pact is made.

Honestly who the hell is begging for another movie from the XXX franchise? The first one was decent, amounting to nothing more then a James Bond clone with an extreme sports coating and the second? Well lets just say the less thats said about it the better....
An interesting note is that on the DVD of the second movie there was an extra scene showing the Xander Cage character dieing, how do you bring back a dead guy?

You bring Xander Cage back by using the book of the dead! Duh...
Didn't they already make another XXX film? Oh sorry that was the chronicles of Riddick...or was it Babylon A.D.? Doesn't matter he's the same dude in all his movies! Tough guy with a grimy voice and an attitude. Now don't get me wrong I'm a Vin Diesel fan and I think he has an epic voice (he should focus more on voice overs for games and such) but the only thing that changes in his films are the plot and character names.
