Director D.J. Caruso Reveals the New Film Script That Brought Vin Diesel's Daughter to Tears

As a cinephile with a penchant for action-packed movies and a soft spot for poignant human dramas, I am thrilled to see the collaboration between Vin Diesel and D.J. Caruso continue to flourish. Their mutual respect and shared creative vision have resulted in some truly captivating films, from the high-octane Fast & Furious franchise to the adrenaline-fueled xXx series.

Vin Diesel is energetically working on a variety of fresh endeavors. In 2026, we can expect the second part of Fast X, titled Fast X: Part 2. Simultaneously, as per reports, director D.J. Caruso, who collaborated with Diesel on xXx: Return of Xander Cage, is said to be involved in another project for a Diesel franchise, xXx 4, which is yet to begin production. Lately, the bond between Caruso and Diesel has been evident, as they have expressed mutual admiration for each other.

In early 2024, Diesel garnered attention following an Instagram post where he discussed Caruso. He mentioned that his eldest daughter, Hania Riley Sinclair, was brought to tears upon reading a script Caruso had given him. The star wrote, “My oldest daughter thought the script D.J. sent me would fit in the category of ‘The Pacifier’. She cried… I asked her why she cried and she said because the story of siblings resonated with her and it was emotional.” In a recent interview with MovieWeb to promote his Netflix biblical film, “Mary”, Caruso disclosed more about this.

The title is “Save the Date”. This film revolves around a father-daughter relationship that has grown somewhat distant. As fate would have it, they are reunited under unusual circumstances, giving her another chance to understand why he left and what transpired in his life. Essentially, it’s about the healing process of a fractured bond between a father and daughter. This script resonated deeply with Vin and his family.

Director D.J. Caruso shared his thoughts on the film “Save the Date,” stating it would touch hearts: “[He said] You’ll find yourself laughing and crying… it was the deeply human story that resonated with Diesel. Despite its action elements, it was the heartfelt humanity of the plot that truly touched him.” Keep an eye out for more news on this movie, but in the meantime, Caruso is working on another project that’s winning over audiences during the holiday season.

Mary, in collaboration with writer Timothy Michael Hayes, crafted a gripping biblical action-thriller depicting the tumultuous journey of Jesus’ mother. Noa Cohen assumes the lead role, partnered by Ido Tako as Joseph. Anthony Hopkins is featured as King Herod. Caruso emphasized that securing suitable casting was crucial.

Whenever a film of such significance comes along, one thinks, ‘I hope I won’t yield to compromise.’ Finding the perfect actor to embody Mary was crucial because she holds immense importance for countless individuals. Remarkably, we stumbled upon Noah, who hails from the same region as Mary.

In the meantime, enthusiasts of Vin Diesel can anticipate exciting times ahead. The highly-anticipated movie, Riddick 4/Riddick: Furya, is swiftly approaching, and it’s already stirring up a joyous fervor among fans. The storyline for the upcoming film finds Diesel’s character, Riddick, returning to his native planet, a place he barely remembers, which has also been completely destroyed. David Twohy (known for Pitch Black and The Fugitive) is slated to direct this new installment. Don’t forget to catch D.J. Caruso’s latest film, Mary, on Netflix.
