Alameda gets XXX (Ice Cube, no Vin Diesel)

Starting this week (I think) the sequel to XXX is going to be filmed in Alameda on the USS Hornet and other local locations.



xXx: State of the Union (2005)



"Ice Cube replaces Vin Diesel in the lead role of a Gen-X James Bond prototype whose extreme sports skills and criminal record make him an effective and expendable secret agent. Samuel L. Jackson will return as NSA agent Augustus Gibbons, the handler of the incorrigible agent drafted to tackle unsavory thugs around the world."



The USS Hornet web page says:
