Vin Diesel, however, must agree with me because now he’s all like, “me too!”

He’s now in low, grumbly talks with Lionsgate and Summit to star in The Last Witch Hunter which is a movie Breck Eisner is directing about some guy who either kills the remainder of Earth’s witches or is killed by them. I’m more interested to know if he’ll be surfing on any flying broomsticks while yelling something like, “Hocus pocus THIS!” Because of course he will. (The Wrap)

If I were a witch, I’d be pissed right about now.

Cory Goodman, who effectively pitched the kung fu holy man actioner Priest somehow, sold the story to Summit Entertainment with Timur Bekmambetov attached. However, Bekmambetov is too busy slaying vampires dressed in powdered wigs to rise to the task. Enter Eisner, who is not afraid of alienating the witch and warlock portion of his fan base.

Story centers around one of the last remaining witch hunters who must stop witches and warlocks from getting freaky deaky and repopulating. I don’t envy that job. C-blocking a warlock has got to be one of the most dangerous jobs there is. Plus, 1099 work is a paperwork nightmare. (Deadline)
