Vin Diesel to Star in New Sci-Fi Film SOLDIERS OF THE SUN

Vin Diesel is set to star in a new original sci-fi film called Soldiers of the Sun. Universal Pictures just picked up a spec script from Arash Amel (Grace of Monaco), and it sounds like it could be a fun flick.

The movie is set in a post-apocalyptic future and focuses on a squad of soldiers that searches for a fabled city of gold while on a tour of duty in Mexico liberating it from an alien race known as Orcs.

Of course everyone involved is hoping that the movie turns out awesome enough that they can turn it into a new original franchise. Diesel has a solid relationship with Universal by working with them on the The Fast and Furious and Riddick franchises.
