Vin Diesel?

Ok, so Vin Diesel is THE man. Well, maybe not THE man, we’ll let Samuel L Jackson take that honour, Vin can be THE white man.

Hell, he was good in The Fast And The Furious, awesome in xXx, flippen legendary in Pitch Black and pretty damn cool in Saving Private Ryan.

But I have to ask, is he really the man for Hitman?

Sure he has the hair for the role, but Hitman in the games always seems tall and skinny. Not a muscle bound brute like Vin.

I’d like to think Hitman is more articulate than Vin as well.

But hell, I can’t think who else I’d put in the role of a cold hearted killer, cept maybe Jason Statham. Damn. Now I think about it, Jason is more THE man than Vin will ever be. He should be Hitman.

Damn. I’m getting off topic. News is, the video game franchise The Hitman is getting the movie make over by Fox, and Vin has the lead role.

Hitman has sold over 10 million units, and with game play that utilises exotic locations, many forms of killing, stealth and action, it should be a great popcorn movie for action fans.

But Vin Diesel? Hhhhmmmm, we’ll see.

Talking (or is that rambling?) of video games to movies, Microsoft have found a home for the Halo movie. Fox are partnering with Universal to bring Microsoft’s over protected baby to the big screen.

Now that’s a movie where the lead role could go to anyone, personality not required as you’ll be wearing a full body suit! Hell, even George Lucus could do something with Halo, the lead character could be done with CGI, who needs actors when you have big computers? g with Universal.
