Re: [scifinoir2] SF Movies coming Up in 2008 - Vin Diesel

I think Diesel is trying to establish himself, and as you said, maybe some ego got in the way. Yet, he did that family-friendly flick where he was agent having to babysit a family, so surely that was just to please the crowd and make some dough (a la Eddie Murphy). A Man Apart was pretty good,

you think Dwayne Johnson--isn't that his given name? I hear he no longer wants to go by The Rock--killed Diesel's career? I didn't think so. Johnson has done well, but not gangbusters by any means. The Rundown was a good movie that established he has screen presence. I enjoyed it, but it

yeah Vin is doing an animated Hannibal for BET and looks like he might be in another Fast and Furious flick. But i think that franchise is pretty much dead. So looks like he is trying to rebuild his career with Hannibal as an epic movie. But I think he was at his best in Boiler Room. That was the

I liked both Pitch black and the sequel. After Pitch Black and Boiler Room, I thought he was really going places. I guess his career sorta fizzled Mike Street wrote: yeah Vin is doing an animated Hannibal for BET and looks like he might be in another Fast and Furious flick. But i think that
