Director John Singleton, producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura, and Vin Diesel have signed on for Wheelman, a live-action film adaptation of a videogame that came out last month with Diesel as its main character and the game’s producer. Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Let’s review: Vin Diesel made a videogame that was essentially based on his The Fast and The Furious character.  Now, he’s making a movie out of that videogame, the videogame which was a videogame version of his movie in the first place. (a movie which had three sequels, a movie which was Point Break with cars).  This is like making a photocopy of your ass, then painting a picture of the copy with your ass, and then shoving the painting up your ass.  (Sorry, I only do ass-based analogies).
