Rapper Eve has signed on to star alongside Vin Diesel and Samuel L. Jackson to star in an "XXX" film.

The movie "XXX" isn't a porn film, though. It's a spy thriller from director Rob Cohen, which is already filming in Los Angeles and Prague, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

"XXX" is due for release in August and casts Diesel ("The Fast And The Furious") as an extreme-sports athlete recruited by the government to help nab a crime ring. Eve is to play Diesel's pal and business partner. Musical acts Rammstein and Orbital also appear in the film, and the report said Eve is also expected to perform the title song. (More on Vin Diesel)
