Vin Diesel has signed on to star in the new action thriller Black Water Transit, says The Hollywood Reporter.
The project is the directorial debut of music video director Samuel Bayer and is in preproduction for shooting in July in Chicago. Co-stars include Kevin Bacon, James Franco (the "Spider-Man" films) and Sophie Okonedo (Hotel Rwanda).
Arnold Rifkin of Cheyenne Enterprises (Hostage, the upcoming Die Hard 4) will produce with Ascendant Pictures' Christopher Eberts and Kia Jam. Doug Richardson (Hostage, Die Hard 4) wrote the screenplay, based on the novel by Carsten Stroud.
Touchstone Pictures has also acquired Player's Rules, a romantic comedy pitch that Ron Bass and Jen Smolka will script as a star vehicle for Diesel (XXX, The Fast and the Furious), who'll produce via his One Race Films.
Player's Rules is described as a "unique take in the ongoing war between men and women."
