Pictures From Vin Diesel 'El Diablo'

[Monday, September 2nd, 2002]
VCD Quality has posted screenshots of a screener film released by New Line Cinema for production purposes.

The movie first working title was "El Diablo" and now has been moved to "Untitled: Vin Diesel Project" due to a lawsuit being filed by computer game company Blizzard Entertainment, creator of the Diablo computer games.

They argued that they had trademarked the title "Diablo" and intended to make a motion picture based on their game. The case was briefly ruled in favor of Blizzard, but was quickly overturned.

Directed by F. Gary Gray, stars Vin Diesel, Larenz Tate, Timothy Olyphant

The movie is about Sean Vetter (Vin Diesel) and Demetrius Hicks (Larenz Tate), two tough young narcotics officers with urban backgrounds. Their squad, known as The Gunslingers, is dedicated to stopping cocaine traffic from the Mexican corridor into Southern California. After the primary drug lord responsible for the area is busted by US Customs, Diablo (Timothy Olyphant) starts to muscle in on that territory, using brazen and unconscionable acts that eventually lead to grave tragedy for Vetter. Vetter swears revenge, and his partner joins him as they use a combination of street smarts and brute force to infiltrate Diablo's operation.
