Cohen has backed out of reteaming with Vin Diesel on "XXX: The Return of Xander Cage" for Sony. Instead, he has signed a deal to helm an event-sized action film that Cohen calls "The Magnificent Seven" in the Middle Ages. [EDIT] Regency has kept the script hush-hush, but sources said the action brings together warriors from disparate cultures....says THIS ARTICLE in Variety. A side note: searching for xXx footage on YouTube locates footage unrelated to, and sometimes far more interesting than, anything in the two xXx movies to date.
