I don’t know if the video-game THE WHEELMAN is any good, but I do know that movies based on video-games are not good. With that information in mind, it is with a heavy-heart that I inform you that an adaptation of the previously mentioned THE WHEELMAN is in the works…so says Variety. Vin Diesel will play “the man who wheels” under the direction of John Singleton.
The game was apparently about a retired expert driver who comes out of retirement (expert drivers never stay retired; I don’t know why they even bother) to protect some lady he used to know and probably had relations with. Vin Diesel produced, loaned his likeness too and voiced the main character in the game. My guess is that this game was really just an extended trailer for the movie; kinda like when networks order a full pilot of a new show before they green-light an entire season.
