Take it From its Director: 'Babylon A.D.' Sucks
After the stirring creative success of his English-language debut Gothika — still hovering around a 15% approval rating at Rotten Tomatoes — no one could really fault French filmmaker-actor Mathieu Kassovitz for expecting miles of auteurist latitude on his new film, the sci-fi Vin Diesel thriller Babylon A.D. Least of all Kassovitz himself, it appears, whose journey to the farthest-flung frontiers of studio hackery (or Eastern Europe, whichever came first) nevertheless found him face-to-face with micromanagers from 20th Century Fox — "lawyers who were only looking at all the commas and the dots," he recently told inquiring minds at AMC.

Fast And Furious First Production Stills, Movie Both Grand And National
That's right, the fourth installment of The Fast And The Furious is to be called, merely, Fast And Furious, and here are the first pics. We wonder if calling it Fast and Furious means it isn't too fast, nor too furious, but just right. Among the cars featured you'll notice Vin Diesel's Chevelle SS, which we've seen before, and a Buick Grand National (non GNX), which is new to us. If you'd expect those to be the only cars in the film, you'd probably be wrong. [Jalopnik]

Vin Diesel: From Duck Addict To Dad
Sure, things may seem to have gotten quiet on the Vin Diesel front, but that doesn't mean Hollywood's Biggest Action Hero Bargain hasn't been keeping busy. He's currently shooting The Fast and the Fourious, the third sequel to the street-racing-movie franchise to which he once swore he'd never return. (His legendary kiss-off speech, climaxing with, "Pimp my balls! The only movie I'm interesting in making stars an army of elephants and costs eleventy billion dollars!" is required reading for USC's From A to Z-List: A Survey of Movie Star Hubris class.) Even more exciting? People reports Diesel is a new dad: More »

Vin Diesel's Career Feeling A Little Pitchy
We're not sure what's a more distressing sign about the current state of Vin Diesel's career: that he's squandered so much time chasing his impossible elephant dreams that he now has no choice but to cash a 4 Fast 4 Furiouser paycheck (no logline, according to THR, "but fast cars are involved"), or that he's been absent from the multiplex for so long that he can no longer be distinguished from a fourth-place finisher from American Idol.

Checking In With Vin Diesel And His Animated Elephants
When last we encountered erstwhile action star Vin Diesel, whose most memorable on-screen clashes of the past two years have been with scene-stealing ducks, poop-laden diapers, and unconvincing hairpieces, it was following the deflating announcement that Diesel was scaling back his vision for an eleventy billion dollar epic based on the military exploits of Carthiginian strongman Hannibal to fit the constraints of BET's animation production budget. Since then, the still-promising project had completely fallen off our radar—that is, until today, when we received a press release touting an upcoming ComicCon panel on the network's burgeoning cartoon lineup, which will include a discussion of: More »

Vin Diesel's Elephant Dreams Not Dead, Just Getting Smaller
Carthaginian history buff/marble-mouthed action star Vin Diesel, once briefly discouraged by a studio executive's refusal to commit the eleventy billion dollars necessary to realize his epic passion project based on the life of legendary mountain-crossing, Italian-besieging general Hannibal, refuses to abandon his crazy, elephant-chasing dreams. While a Hannibal feature film is still in development (primarily in the form of a stunningly detailed shoebox diorama in the obsessed actor's garage), today's THR reports that Diesel will bring a scaled-down realization of his vision to BET in a "groundbreaking" animated series. Hopefully, the TV project will ultimately satisfy Diesel's need to tell this story, saving him from yet another round of frustrating pitches in which shortsighted suits dismiss his plan to march two hundred animatronic elephants across the Alps in a sneak-attack against a real Italian village.

Own A Little, Half-Naked Piece Of Vin Diesel History
In just about every successful actor's past is an embarrassing herpes medication ad, cheaply produced local used car lot commercial requiring the use of a cowboy costume, or regrettable double-penetration scene in a movie they've been sworn would never been seen outside of Hungary. Hey, everyone's gotta eat. An eBay entrepreneur is attempting to sell a rare piece of Vin Diesel's pre-Hollywood history, a 1989 Sisley clothing catalogue featuring a very young Diesel modeling some underwear, striking a dramatic pose that showed early signs of the incredible presence that would one day propel him to being upstaged by a duck in a Disney movie. The bidding has quickly climbed from $5 to $28.99, still a great value for an item described as having "no stains," a pristine state that can quickly be reversed by the excited auction winner once the catalogue arrives.

Trade Round-Up: Vin Diesel Finally Ready To Take On Women
· Fox plays it safe by returning 16 series to its fall line-up, adding just three new dramas, two new comedies, and a late night talk show. And The OC stays put on Thursdays at 9, with the network confident that since its fans still seem to be sticking around just because they remember how great it was the first season, they probably won't be lured away by Grey's Anatomy.

Vin Diesel On Chasing Elephants, Running From Rumors, And Dating In Europe
Vin Diesel may play the clown at his premieres, but on the inside, he's a serious guy with big plans (he's still chasing his crazy, pachyderm-filled, eleventy billion dollar dream to get his Hannibal trilogy made—in Punic!) and who isn't immune to the pain of the oft-whispered speculation about his sexuality. He confides to Details, the go-to publication for men seeking to dispel dogged gay rumors: More »

Vin Diesel: Find Me Delightful
There's something about movie premieres in early March that really makes Vin Diesel blossom. Last year, he was the excitedly-pointing-at-waterfowl life of the party at The Pacifier's bow, and at last night's NY celebration of Find Me Guilty's imminent release (pictured above), Diesel generously distributed the embarrassment of facial expression riches he so stingily withholds while the movie cameras roll.

Inside VPage: The Year Of The Animals
With the movie premiere season rapidly drawing to a close, Variety's VPage takes a somber photographic journey back through 2005, which history will remember as The Year When Animals Rose Up And Overthrew Their Human Co-Stars. The actors' smiling faces belie the horror that uniformly followed the cascade of flashbulbs; our memories of two of the premieres' most regretable tragedies, Vin Diesel's near-fatal genital-pecking by Gary the Duck at The Pacifier bow, and the white python's grisly constriction of George Lopez (mere days after his kidney transplant) at a Lemony Snicket afterparty, are incredibly poignant.
