According to Deadline, Ice Cube, fresh off his hit film ‘Ride Along,’ is looking to revive the Barbershop franchise.
MGM produced the 2002 original, which cost $12 million and grossed $75 million domestic while the 2004 sequel, Barbershop 2: Back in Business, cost $30 million and grossed $65 million.
Cedric the Entertainer, who also starred in both films, and Queen Latifah, who appeared in ‘Business’ and then starred in the 2005 spinoff, Beauty Shop, are looking to come back to reprise their roles.
In both films, Cube starred as Calvin Palmer, Jr., a man who inherited a South Side Chicago barbershop from his father. He spends his normal days working in the shop, interacting with co-workers and the surrounding community.
Cube will produce Barbershop 3 with Matt Alvarez, Bob Teitel and George Tillman Jr.
Cube will next be seen in 22 Jump Street while Cedric the Entertainer has his TV show, ‘Soul Man,’ premiering its new season on TV Land tonight. He will also be seen in Marlon Wayans’ A Haunted House 2.
