Writer Talks Up That 'xXx' Threequel We Don't Want

It wouldn't be near the top of the list of the worst sequels ever, but xXx: State
of the Union was certainly bad. Pointless, erratic, loud, and unforgivably stupid, it signaled the end
of the xXx franchise, which started with a big box office bang. That is, it was the end of the
franchise until now.
“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."I know what you're thinking: They need a script? Yeah, apparently they do. And apparently Sony likes what it sees so far. The Pacifier would be a fool to turn it down, especially because with his involvement, the studio would capitalize on the Fast & Furious success, which would line his pockets pretty well. Plus, if history teaches us anything, it's that the script doesn't have to be that good to catch his interest.
