By now we all know Vin Diesel and Rob Cohen will return for a third "xXx," but the latest we've learned is that "Terminator Salvation" screenwriters Michael Ferris and John D. Brancato may write the screenplay for the sequel.

According to Variety, the writers recently pitched their idea for "xXx: The Return of Xander Cage" to Columbia. The studio has been trying to fast-track the project ever since it was officially announced two months ago.

Besides "Salvation," Ferris and Brancato also teamed up for Jonathan Mostow's "Surrogates," which is currently filming. They also collaborated on films such as "Primeval," "Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines" and "Catwoman."

Cohen directed Diesel in the first film of the series in 2002, which pulled in $106.2 million domestically. They both refused to return for the 2005 sequel, which starred Ice Cube and totally crashed at the box office.

So, are you excited this project is moving along? Or do you think Xander Cage has no business blowing things up on the big screen? Post your opinions below.
