Wheelman (the game) was supposed to be based on Wheelman (the movie). Didnāt happen, so we only got the game. But now, for some reason, weāre actually going to get that movie.
Variety reports that Paramount Pictures, fresh off the buzz surrounding Fast & Furious, āis accelerating its effortsā to get the movie made, with John Singleton (Boyz N the Hood) to direct and Lorenzo di Bonaventura (Transformers, Doom) to produce. Diesel will obviously star.
Strange decision to make, especially when the original plans for the movie went up in smoke, and that Wheelman (the game) wasnāt much of a game. Then again, itās always sounded like a better movie.
