    Vin Diesel.. boo, he looks nothing like Agent 47 :(. Are we in for another botched game to movie crossover?, can the bald 007 wannabe do this one justice .. I think not.

    What i ment to say, is that agent 47 is white... vin is not, how the hell are you going to put a "black" actor to play a "white" character, but as i mentioned before it happened with cat woman, which i think is kinda gay.

    Vin Diesel is a horrible actor. I hear he might be playing the antagonist in Rocky VI. That would not be exciting to see.

    I quite like Vin Diesel tbh - but maybe he is not the best person to play 47. IMO they should use a new/unknown actor - not only would they be cheaper, but they could find someone talented and still have a better likeness to 47 and give a new guy a chance to make it big. New actors wil lalso try harder usually too in an attempt to make it big - a lot of actors once they make it seem to get a bit sloppier :(

    Jason Statham would play him well. Check out his imdb profile here for a picture. He was in Lock Stock, The Transporter and the Itailan Job.

  9. Christ, I don't see what the appeal of Vin Diesel is. He sounds like he's got brain damage when he talks. Maybe it was just his chronic lack of hair in any of his films that made them think he'd do well as Agent 47.

    I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here. Then again, I'm not quite sure I can read it, either. Agent 47 was white, yes, as is Vin Diesel. Halle Berry, who played Catwoman, however, is not.

    Vin Diesel is from Austria/eastern europe. Just because he played a roughneck hispanic in Fast and the Furios doesn't make him a hispanic. I think he'll do "ok" as Agent 47. He looks good with no hair but when he has hair, blonde, it just looks down right wierd.

    How about this guys? 47 is pale. Vin Diesel is not.

    There sure as hell will be a Rocky VI!!! I have parts 1 and 2 of the script, provided by Sly Magazine. If you want me to scan them, just ask :D

    Firstly, I don't think Vin Diesel is a bad actor. He was very good in Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room. He just took some big franchise scripts for the money, it let him open his game company and ensure he'll never have to work for anyone else again. Wouldn't you have done the same?

    I'm not sure he's right for this role, but they could do a lot worse. Hell, it could have been keanu reeves....ugh. What a robot.

    Ironically, as I type this, Rocky IV's on TV, and before that there was II and III. It's like 9 AM. I only caught the second half of III when I woke up, and I don't like IV (being that I'm educated as a pinko commie bastard)

    I .... just don't know, I mean, IV was excessive (though V was somewhat better).

    But what more is there to tell about that story?
