In an interview with the edition of The National Win, Diesel said that Stephen Spielberg persuades him to pay more attention to the director:
I recently spoke with Stephen, and he told me: "When I filmed you to" save ordinary Ryan, "then not only gave you the work of the actor, but also tried to secretly support the director in you. You remove too little. This is a crime against the movie, you must return to the director's chair. "
As a director of Vin Diesel, only one full-length film - "Tramps" of 1997. In addition, he created a number of short films. For more than 20 years, Vin Diesel has been dreaming of removing the trilogy about the famous Hannibal commander:
I did not do this. I am grateful for everything I managed to achieve in life, but sometimes I think: "I promised the universe to create a trilogy and did not do it. I traveled the world. I visited Egypt, Tunisia, Spain, crossed the Alps in the place where Hannibal did. I studied everything about his life, but I did not find time to turn my knowledge in movies.
