2022-01-04 08:01
As the audience likes the tone of "xXx", the background of "xXx2" will be changed, but the tone is the same. The first "xXx" was directed by Rob Cohen , and in the sequel, he turned to be the executive producer.
In "xXx2", the location of the story is moved back to the United States from abroad, with Washington District of Columbia as the background, which is more powerful and timely. The new agent Darius Stone must be able to adapt to the modern metropolitan environment and possess rich and outstanding military skills.
" XXx " made Vin Diesel out of the limelight. Sony had a problem with Diesel when he appeared in the second film. He asked for a salary of US$30 million, which is almost half of the investment in the entire movie. The two parties broke up. Later, Sony found Ace Kuba black singer to replace Diesel's vacancy.
