17 May – As an actor whose name is synonymous to the action genre, Vin Diesel branches out to a different territory with a brand new franchise planned for STXfilms. Diesel will star in an original action comedy flick called "Muscle", which also happens to be his first attempt on the genre, Deadline reported. ""Muscle" is the perfect blend of action and comedy that his millions of devoted fans around the world have come to love him for, and we believe has the potential to become his next big, signature franchise," said Adam Fogelson, Chairman of STXfilms.
