Vin Diesel is a rising star - and he knows it. Apparently, so does Universal. Universal has profited handsomely in the last year on Vin and now he wants to get some of the action before committing to sequels for The Fast And The Furious and Pitch Black.

While Universal had reservations about Vin's $12.5 million pricetag for Pitch Black 2, they ultimately agreed to his demands and The Chronicles Of Riddick is set to begin filming later this year.

With the hype surrounding his upcoming action movie XXX from rival studio Columbia Tristar, Vin is back in the driver's seat and won't settle for anything less than $20 million to reprise his role as Dominic Toretto in The Fast And The Furious 2.
