XXX Behind The Scenes Pics From Prague!!!

Published at:  Feb 18, 2002 4:29:49 AM CST

Hey folks, Harry here with the look behind the set of XXX, the Vin Diesel and (pant pant pant) Asia Argento... sigh... I want to hope that XXX will blow me away, but a recent conversation with John Robie has me tethering my excitement due to his dislike of the script. He and I don't always see eye to eye, but sometimes we do.... So till I get my hands on the script, I'll just place my faitih in Vin.. he's a badass, he'll come through. Right?





Hi Harry,


Here are some photo's of the XXX set in Prague. The set decorators were busy
with the statue at the 11th of february and the actual shooting took place
at Valentine's day.


Bye bye

    Vin is the man.

    by kid_ego

    Looks like Vin's going to be playing the same Dominic Torreto character as he did in TF&F, except as a secret (read super) agent. I hope this movie rocks, and I hope Rob Cohen tries something new with his style in this one. I'm really looking forward to it......these pics don't do anything for me though.

    Asia Argento...

    by crimsonrage

    ...whooey...she's hot. Get her some braces and I'm a ready. Hell, she don't even need braces. She was the only redeeming thing about "B.Monkey" which was just terrible. Anyway, she was hot.

    F&F was dung...

    by mr chuff

    I know I'm WAY out of date here as I only saw Fast and the Furious the other week....it was utter wank. It was "Point Break" but with cars.
    The undercover cop infiltrates the gang via the chick who works in a resturant type thing...right down to the shot of the the guy walking away at the end...total rip. point Break was ok but if you're gonna rip at least rip from a top class movie.
    Vin was kinda cool in Pitch Black but I dont know how long his lunk-head roles will keep him up. If he stretches a bit then maybe he'll gain some credability but all these walking muscle roles arent doing him any favours.

    by heleno

    Naah, actually the subject is Vin Diesel, I was just lying to be different. Gay or not, he's fit as you like, and it makes no difference as none of us are ever likely to meet him anyway. And Fast and the Furious did suck like a vacuum, but in a brainlessly entertaining way, so I have forgiven him for that and am trying to focus on the excellent Pitch Black instead. And these pics really don't give much away, do they? So I shall wait and see how it all turns out. Love or hate the man, he doesn't look to be going away any time soon.

    by bigtuna

    It accomplished what it set out to do:entertain me. It was a fun, mindless summer popcorn movie. A film like Gone in 60 Seconds bored the hell out of me and was stupid. FATF was great fun. Stop taking films so seriously guys!

    Truths about Vin

    by budwhite

    Having been near the F&F project, let me clear up a couple of things. UCLAfilm, I know your source, she's nice, but she exxagerates. Vin did NOT have guys going in and out of his trailer, that's bull.
    But, on the other hand, I heard that crap about Michelle and Vin falling for each other on the set of the F&F. I think it's just a publicity thing for both of them, just like Cruise and Cruz. As far as on set goes, nobody noticed anything that might have suggested they were getting involved with one another.

    Boiler Room

    by zarles

    Why has no one mentioned the film Boiler Room? Vin was actually pretty good in that. He should stick to roles like that one and skip all this meatheaded, punch-the-bad-guy-in-the-face stuff. Go see Boiler Room, now...

    Worst. Pictures. Ever.

    by drak_tanner

    Those statues look like steaming piles of carp. A lot like this movie and Vin Diesel's career to date -- huge, steaming, stinking piles of carp. Don't get me wrong, carp is my second-favorite fish, but not in steaming piles...

    Bow down to Vin Diesel.

    by monkey lover

    Vin Diesel is an almighty crusader of virtue and integrity. NATO should clone him millions of times, and then no-one would ever try anything against the Western World again, because who'd want to take on an army of Vin? He'd chew up your face, because he is a bad-ass muthatrucker. In other news, The Fast and the Furious is a righteous film. The action scenes are exhilirating and revive even the most tired souls, and the sweet performance of the Almighty Vin Diesel rocks the planet. My personal favourite part is when he picks up Michelle Rodriguez by the ass, showing both superhuman strength and a love for fine women. Plus, he growls, "You EMBARRASS me!" and he rules. Therefore, XXX will most likely rule the planet, and Vin will be the first actor to recieve $500 million per film after that. Rock on.

    vin diesel is...

    by yotaruvegeta

    Just a few notes:

    1. Vin diesel is a big enigma. For his first couple starring roles, I couldn't tell if he was black, white, half white and half something, or what!

    2. He has a very strange deep voice and usually a guy like him doesn't make a good top dog in a movie. And as for him being gay, if he is, he's wasting his muscles on men.

    3. I think XXX is a bad attempt at trying to create a new type of james bond. It will have success, but it won't have the lasting power that Bond has and continues to have.

    His character in F&TF in XXX

    by 81666

    nope, in XXX he plays Xander cage a recruited ex-sportstar or something or other...
    he supposedly is dating michelle rodriguez but man is she kinda dykey looking, but who cares maybe it's the rough girls?! Vin deisel's cool i mean a lot of his flicks are well made.. when i saw saving privae ryan i was wondering what the hell his ethnicity was. fast and the furious had me going all the way up to the beautifully executed car race where (i like a little fag) held onto my chair cuz the visuals were awesome, then it just fell apart... it's not like TF&F was terrible it just sucked midways a flick for speedracers just like "groove" was for ravers... **shrug** i liked boiler room even though the ending for that stunk too, pitch black was good and Iron Giant so it's not like deisel's had a row of shitty roles... maybe this'll be tops just hope it won't fuck up like TF&F in the end... and remember to all those people yelling Vin is gay... what the hell is that about? just a bunch of buttocks plunderers you iz... oh and from the famous denzel/john lithgow flick....

    "i'll come over to visit you' ... "oh to thank me i suppose" "no, to fuck your wife, your daughter, hell even your dog."-81666

    Vin is Italian/German

    by monktavian

    He said so in an interview.
    Italian and German.
    His name is Vincent (from his Italian mother) Diesel (From his German father).

    Is he gay?
    He's ripped, and really pretty. If I saw Vin at a bar somewhere I'd be like "What a fag" but that's just cause I'm jealous.

    Other famous hollywood types that were gay/bi:
    Rock Hudson: You could REALLY tell if you watched his films.
    Randolph Scott: You could likewise tell (cowboys with poofy ascots?)
    Erroll Flynn: (randolph scott's old "roomate") ya you could tell.

    Vin just dosen't seem very gay. But he could be the butch type.

    Whatever- He did a solid job with Pitch Black and was the only good actor in F&tF.
    I 'll be renting XXX if I see it at all.

    I really want to see the Knockaround Guys written by Vin based on his days as a bouncer/low-level mafioso. And we all know how the Mob feels about fag (Johnny-Boy was wacked for it)

  • Why do you people keep buying tickets to go see this guy who looks like he belongs in a special Ed class? He can't act, he's an ugly guy, he has no personality, I watched 15 minutes of my friends rented F&F dvd and left, pitch black sucked and if you people with no taste are going to keep fueling his career, then keep him where he belongs.....out of site from the movie going public and behind a microphone grunting like a Sasquatch (with no real lines) for an animated film like he did for Iron Giant. WOW what talent!! That is all my run-on sentence has to say.

    That Building Is The Czech Department Of Urine.

    by buzz maverik

    Once, trapped behind the Iron Curtain, I was pretending to be a native. Since a lot of them were in line, I joined them. They were all holding these yellow tickets. I didn't have a ticket, so I said to the guy in front of me, "Giddyup nadsec parole naboo," which is Czech for "Step into this alcove so that I may club you over the head." He complied (it's so miserable there that anybody will let you club them over the head if you just ask) and I took his ticket. After six and half hours in line, I got to this little card table, gave the grey skinned fat woman my ticket and received a two litre bottle of urine. Out on the street, I traded it for a case of Skorpion and a position in the Czech parliment.

    Wow, ignorance AND jealousy!

    by sweetsistermary

    I'm not really sure which is
    better...the absolute ignorance
    about him or the slightly more
    mature "He sucks!" stuff. If
    you're going to flame someone
    to look cool, at least pick a
    solid reason!

    His name is NOT Vincent Diesel.
    His name is Mark Vincent.

    His ethniticity is NOT German
    and Italian. You want to
    know what it is, get off your
    lazy ass and go look it up. There's enough info out there.

    He is NOT dating Summer Altice.
    They dated for 6 weeks,
    according to her, in early 2001.
    They're best friends.

    He is NOT dating Michelle. Like
    the post a few before mine said,
    it was a publicity thing.

    Gay? HA! If he was, who gives
    a shit? Think that's going to make
    ANY sort of impact? Most of that
    comes from guys who can't stand
    that ssssoooooo many women
    find him hot as Hell.

    Acting? Who said Pitch Black
    and TF&TF were supposed to be
    Oscar caliber movies? Even the
    rabid female fanbase he has
    pretty much agrees that
    TF&TF blows. Who cares? Name a
    single actor who HASN'T started
    in crap. It's escapist trash.
    I can't believe people spend so
    much time whining about it.

    But the funniest thing is the
    people who scarcely hide the
    racism in their remarks to
    not only slam the way he looks
    but to slam his acting. It's
    just proof positive that you've
    NEVER seen Strays or Multi-facial.

    In the end it doesn't matter
    much, though, because you're
    seen for what you are.
