CB Graphic Guru Matt S. sent me a link to the new trailer for xXx 2 last night, and I was so underwhelmed by it, I promptly ignored it and ran a story on Hitchhiker’s Guide concept art instead. But, since there may be a couple of you who don’t realize that this film won’t star Vin Diesel and thus isn’t worth one minute of your time, I guess I should point it out, if only to wake you all up. If any of you even liked the first xXx that is. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one.
I’d swear I’ve seen that exact same boat jump before, at least a dozen times… in films made in the seventies. Yes, yes I have. xXx tried to come up with something new, put a dirtier twist on the whole James Bond thing… even if it couldn’t get past this weird bias people have towards Eurotrash. I mean, they’re scum, but interesting scum. It’s ok to make movies about pig raping rednecks, but not slimy Eurotrash? I don’t’ get it. Anyway, this one just grabbed whichever rapper who thinks he’s an actor was available and gave him some guns. This provides for plenty of opportunities to joke about how old people don’t know about Tupac.
xXx 2: State of the Unioin arrives to waste the careers of both Samuel L. Jackson and Willem Dafoe in April 2005. Scroll down to the bottom of this page to check out the boring new poster art for it.
