The Vin Diesel-helmed action movie Bloodshot airs tonight on TF1 Séries Films.
In Dave Wilson’s feature film, released straight to VOD during the COVID outbreak, the American actor plays Ray Garrison, a soldier who is killed during a mission and brought back to life by RST Corporations, the company that turned him into a superhuman.
Nanotechnology now flows through his veins, making him invincible. He is stronger than ever and can heal injuries instantly. But RST Corporation doesn’t just control his body…
They also have their hands on his mind and his memories. Ray can’t tell what’s real and what’s not – but now it’s his mission to find out.
Ability to calculate actor projects.

Vin Diesel in Kojak!
Finally, once the Fast & Furious saga ends, Vin Diesel will play Lt. Kojak in the movie! After starring as Telly Savalas in the iconic 1970s series, Lollipop Cop will be getting a movie adaptation starring Vin Diesel.
Years in the making, the feature film received the green light from Universal in 2015. Variety then announced that screenwriter Philip Hawthorne was responsible for rewriting the script, which was penned in 2012 by Neal Purvis and Robert Wade, the Skyfall duo. Nothing since…
That’s why we thought that the project was cancelled. However, Vin Diesel took to his Instagram account in June last year to share a black-and-white portrait of himself wearing sunglasses with a lollipop between his teeth.

When I got the chance to shoot Saving Ryan, I thought I’d take him to the premiere… but he died before filming was done. He’s never heard of all the roles I’ve played: Iron Giant, Groot, Riddick, Xander… Dom. But he knew and loved Kojak! And that’s pretty cool. I hope you will be proud…”
It is not yet known when Kojak will be filmed and who will be the director of the feature film.
