Batman, Indy, Hulk, Rambo and Bond are just some of the favorite action heroes coming back to theatres in 2008. But audiences will have to wait until 2009 for the greatest of all...

Well, at least according to Vin Diesel.

"I think doing the cameo in 'Tokyo Drift' confirmed a lot of things for me. It confirmed that if you create a role that the world kind of identifies with, or the world adopts, sometimes you have that responsibility to revisit that role," Diesel enthused of his character Dominic Toretto from the "Fast and the Furious" franchise, which he will revisit in the series' upcoming fourth installment.

Every cop needs to find himself a good partner. These days, Wilmer Valderrama seems to know that better than anyone. "As far as CHiPs goes, right now we're in search of a great director and a great Jon," the former "That 70's Show" star told us this week, providing an update on the big-screen adaptation of another 70's show. "We're gearing up [to shoot] at the end of this year."

It was waaaaaay back in December of 2005 that Valderrama was announced as the new Frank "Ponch" Poncherello, launching buzz around the high-profile flick from Warner Bros. In the years since, the backlash against films like "Bewitched," "The Dukes of Hazzard" and "The Honeymooners" has grown, while follow-up details on "CHiPs" have become as infrequent as Erik Estrada appearances on network television. The biggest hurdle has been the coronation of Jon Baker, a role originated by blonde-haired leading man Larry Wilcox. "Honestly, there's a few people," is all Valderrama would reveal of a list that has reportedly included names like Paul Walker and Ryan Phillippe. "There are a couple favorites I have."

Many believe that Valderrama is holding out hope for fair-haired friend Chris Evans, whose appointment could be riding on the success or failure of next month's "Fantastic Four" sequel. Either way, don't be surprised if Evans is announced (or ignored) within days of the "Rise of the Silver Surfer" at the box office. "I can't give you anything," Valderrama shrugged. "Because I'll take away from his big announcement." The 27-year-old star did reveal, however, that he'll soon begin taking motorcycle-riding lessons. "I'm already scheduled to go on a couple drives with the highway patrol [later this year]," he added. "And hopefully they won't give me tickets after this movie." Read more...
