It appears it's release will be announced this year.

Maybe I should save you the time of clicking the link with a few quotes

but that may just be speculation due to Scott's direction of Gladiator, which was another historical epic

And.....

When his father is killed by the Romans, Hannibal (Diesel),

Hanibals father committed suicide by jumping in a river, he was in an assault when his ally turned on him.

Anyways I wonder if Vin Diesel will grow a beard for this.
