A man like John Singleton needs no introduction, especially around the leaky decks of the Joystiq oil tanker. Every week, we usually enjoy a movie to break up the monotony of
teh blawging. Almost always, that movie is
Baby Boy. Now, the directorial genius of Mr. Singleton is being applied to a film version of Vin Diesel's gaming, uh ... triumph,
Wheelman. And not only that, but Vin Diesel will also star,
Variety reports.
The film -- titled simply
The Wheelman -- currently has a script and is being put into production by Paramount. The movie will focus on "an expert driver (Diesel) who comes out of retirement to protect a woman from his past." This will be a nice opportunity for Diesel and Singleton to work together, considering Singleton directed
2 Fast 2 Furious, the movie sequel that Diesel opted out of.
