First I just want to comment on the "Man Apart" trailer. I thought it was very well done mainly because of the Puddle of Mudd song. It just makes it seem touching and intamite where a thousand other choices would have been jokes. Imagine if they used a XXX/Fast and the Furious type rock song for the trailer...It would have come off as phony like those two movies. I am a fan of Diesel's earlier work more so than the fast/xxx stuf. But I he's making a wicked lot of money so i guess i don't blame him i'd prob. do the same thing.

I don't think Diesel has totally sold out. I imagine he'll play the franchise game for a while to further develop his fan base and make more money. Then maybe he'll direct again. We know there is a good actor in Diesel. I think it's just waiting for the right time to come back.

I am glad to see something encouraging on vin's acting abitilies
i beleive he could be a great actor if he found the right movie
I could see him doing a drama,
a horror would be nice
A comady would be intresting
although i love the cars and his tight shirts
i would like to see him in something more serous
or more stupid
imagibe vin teaming up with adam sandler lol
that i would miss for the world!!!!
though i am thrilled to see he'll be working on a pitch black sequil
that was a good role and great movie
i think they can go alot of ways with a character like riddick

"I like anything fast enough to do something stupid in."
