Why You Probably Shouldn’t Watch Babylon A.D.
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, Science Fiction, Thrillers, New Releases,
If you’re still trying to decide whether Babylon A.D. is worth spending your money on this week, there are two things you should probably note:
- The bored look on Vin Diesel’s face. (See above.)
- These words from the film’s director: “It’s pure violence and stupidity.”
And while there are times when that last sentence might be considered a compliment, Mathieu Kassovitz wasn’t trying to be funny.

See Vin Diesel in His Fast and Furious Return
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Universal, Action, Sequels, Trailers,
Although Vin Diesel’s tried hard to branch act professionally, the star of The Pacifier and Find Me Guilty finds himself returning to familiar territory.
Next year, the original cast members of The Fast and the Furious will be reuniting for the franchise’s fourth installment: Fast and Furious. (Original title, I know.) Read Universal’s description then watch the new trailer after the jump.
When a crime brings them back to L.A., fugitive ex-con Dom Toretto (Diesel) reignites his feud with agent Brian O’Connor (Walker). But as they are forced to confront a shared enemy, Dom and Brian must give in to an uncertain new trust if they hope to outmaneuver him. And from convoy heists to precision tunnel crawls across international lines, two men will find the best way to get revenge: push the limits of what’s possible behind the wheel.

IGN Releases Babylon A.D. Trailer

The folks over at IGN were nice enough to hand us over the trailer for Vin Diesel‘s upcoming action sci-fi thriller, Babylon A.D..
Based upon Maurice Georges Dantec’s French novel Babylon Babies, the film has been on a close watch for movie geeks everywhere since production began. French director Mathieu Kassovitz (Munich) directed the movie, which features a dominantly-French cast, including big-time French actor Gérard Depardieu!
It’s always nice to an actor going back to his or her roots. Honestly, what was he thinking when he signed on to The Pacifier?
You can expect it to hit theaters on August 29. Check out the trailer after the jump!

Vin Diesel and Paul Walker to return for The Fast and the Furious 4?
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Action, Sequels, Box Office, Casting, Celeb News, Upcoming Releases,
Well, audiences waited long enough (through two sequels), and now The Fast and the Furious franchise will reward the faithful with an installment several years in the making. That’s right: Vin Diesel and Paul Walker will finally reunite and reprise their original Fast roles. Maybe. The two are in talks to reprise their roles as Dominic Toretto and Brian O’Conner, which launched Vin Diesel as a major action star and helped the movie gross more than $200 million worldwide. Walker appeared in 2 Fast 2 Furious, which out-grossed the original, though Diesel could not be swayed from his other movie engagements at the time. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, the third installation in the movie series, featured Diesel only briefly and Walker not at all. The fourth movie will feature more cars, more dirty deals, and hopefully more ticket sales than the third (which nearly grossed $160 million but was considered disappointing to Fast fans). The film, yet to be titled, will begin shooting in LA, Mexico and the Dominican Republic next spring. Diesel and Walker are both currently tied to unrelated movie projects, and neither has confirmed accepting a role in the fourth Fast flick.
