In the aftermath of an earthquake that registered a magnitude of 7.0 some 15 miles (25 km) southwest of the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince in 2010, the late Paul Walker, known to many for his role as Brian O'Connor in the Fast and Furious film franchise, established a charity dubbed Reach Out Worldwide (ROWW) to help those affected by the natural disaster. To this very day, the organization continues the tradition of giving aid to those in need, while often attracting high-profile celebrities to lend a hand. While the organization hosts several events throughout the year, their annual Game4Paul livestream always draws a fair amount of eyeballs, as well as a respectable amount of donated earnings.
On this, the fourth year of the annual Game4Paul livestream event, Walker's fellow Fast and Furious co-star, Vin Diesel, has decided to get involved, and he's brought a series or treats from his upcoming BLOODSHOT movie along for the ride. If you're unfamiliar with the Game4Paul initiative, it's a livestreaming charity event full of video games, exclusive sweepstakes and more that support ROWW’s mission to provide disaster relief. Currently, the organization has teams in the field responding to the recent earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia, as well as the aftermath of Hurricane Irene in North Carolina.
For this year's event, Diesel has helped arrange a raft of exclusive signed BLOODSHOT merchandise and comics that can be purchased by fans and viewers in exchange for a donation to ROWW. You can see some of the materials below, including a first look at Diesel as the Valiant character Bloodshot for the upcoming film. While the image does not feature Diesel in full makeup and badass attire, the quasi-concept piece by Valiant artist Lewis LaRosa does paint a great picture of what the bald behemoth will look like as Raymond Garrison aka Bloodshot.
