Another Ice Cube ‘Friday’ In The Works<\/strong>by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

New Line Cinema is in talks with Ice Cube <\/strong>to write, produce and star in another installment of the Friday<\/strong> series. Cube could be in line to direct it as well, but all that is being worked out.<\/p>\n

A TMZ<\/a> report says that Chris Tucker <\/strong>as being in serious talks to reprise his role in the film. They have had discussions and Cube wants him, I\u2019m told, but it\u2019s unclear whether that part is a reality. For one thing, when I interviewed Tucker several years ago for Playboy, he told me that because of his religion, he was reticent to be depicted in the pot smoking mode as his character Smokey was in the original film. He went as far as to say that he probably now wouldn\u2019t have taken that memorable stint in Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>\u2019s Jackie Brown, because of the verbal explosion of profanity and liberal use of the \u201cN\u201d word. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Note: It seems that the genre that most producers are jumping on the wagon with are sequels and remakes. Universal has also given Malcolm D. Lee <\/strong>the green light <\/a>to start working on a sequel for his 1999 film, ‘Best Man<\/strong>,’ and production has already started on the remake of the urban cult classic ‘Sparkle<\/a><\/strong>.’<\/p>\n
