Merrick here...

Earlier we learned Rob Cohen was jumping off of xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE to work on a project called MEDIEVAL (details HERE).

An AICN associate called Mr. Longbaugh was kind enough to give us a sense of what Cohen's adoptive project has in store for us (although I'm sure changes will be made before filming commences, and during actual production).

Obviously, BEWARE SPOILERS!!!


Here's Mr. Longbaugh:

The film opens with a diverse group of warriors all imprisoned together, discussing how they've all ended up in this unfortunate circumstance. This eclectic group consisting of: a knight, a thief, a samurai, a zulu warrior, a viking, and a few others.

All of them have been setup and brought together for one reason: a wealthy man has tasked them with stealing a crown from an impenetrable vault of treasure. The crown is his, but they can keep whatever treasure that can carry out. The twist is that they only have till daylight to do so because they've all been injected with a poison that'll kill them upon direct contact with the sun.

With Ocean's 11 like precision they break into the vault in an incredible sequence of agility and stunts utilizing their own individual skill-sets, involving magnetic hallways and pressure sensitive floors they enter the vault...

At various points they're attacked by gangs of birdmen, gypsy women, sumo wrestlers, zulu warriors, etc.

The way the message above is edited suggests the film is confined to the vaults, etc. It's actually considerably more sprawling, with lots of (medieval) city action.

Huge thanks to Mr. Longbaugh for taking the time to share this with us...
