'XXX2' IS A GO WITH OR WITHOUT ORIGINAL DIRECTOR

A sequel to last year's Vin Diesel actioner "XXX" is in the works, but who will direct "XXX2" has not been made clear.

Rob Cohen directed the Revolution Studios/Sony original, and he st right of refusal. However, if he plans to make Columbia Pictures' "Stealth" as his next feature, the reins will likely go to Lee Tamahori, who is in discussions to direct the sequel.

Cohen has spent the summer location scouting for "Stealth," but there is no firm start date for the project, and he has not officially stepped off "XXX2".

Meanwhile, should Tamahori come aboard the project, it would mark the New Zealand helmer's third franchise.

After directing the most recent installment of the James Bond series, "Die Another Day" and "Along Came a Spider" which continued the adventures of Detective Alex Cross from James Patterson's best-selling novels.
