Last Friday' Stalled After Ice Cube and Warner Bros. Get Into Heated Battle Over Its Development

[Peter Popoff]

Need to get Shea Jackson into it and some new refreshing comedians with Cube as the new pops and Day-Day as the Unc. Cast some of them youtube cats and a new Deebo. Throw Chris Tucker in as a brief cameo (weedman). DC Young fly as the new sidekick or something. This storyline won't work unless they leave WB.

Warner Bros strikes again and does Warner Bros thangs


They really are the inferior studio

They stalled out the production of Home Alone and we're going to cancel the movie until 20th Century Fox came in.

....but a prison movie does sound horrible.

I mean, he is

The star to me and everyone i know was Chris Tucker.

Remember it was the studio that forced Cube to find another actor to play Smokey, which ended up being Chris Tucker. If it was up to Cube, Smokey would have been played by DJ Pooh (Red).

Cube needs to listen to them studio notes.

Really?

Didn't read the article but I'm guessing they wanted Cube to wear a dress.

 

[Easy-E]

you right but its a franchise that if Cube gets the full rights to he can sell to highest bidder especially with all the streaming services out here looking for content
We got a new House Party franchise that's staffing up right now
A new Friday would be about the kids of Cube and Smokey with Cube being the father figure in the movie probably
In regards to "The Player's Club", Cube probably looked at P-Valley and the new BET stripper show like when he saw them

I swear I'm trying to get pass that show, but, I'm stuck on Episode 5 they be going too far

Are people clamoring for this? If we’re being honest, everything after Friday is kind of bad…

 

[Tasha And]

Really?

DJ Pooh: Originally I was playing Smokey. A lot of the character was based on stuff that went on in my life. I sold weed when I was young and was unsuccessful because I was also a connoisseur. I’d be like, “I’m just gonna smoke this sack right here, but if I break this sack down I can get the money back.” It was a horrible idea.

Ice Cube: New Line felt I had screen experience but Pooh didn’t have as much, so they didn’t want him to play Smokey. Pooh was like, “Man, how we going to let New Line come in and tell us how to put this movie together?” A million dollars is the reason why, shyt! [Laughs.] They ain’t fukk with us on nothing but the cast, so we had to play ball to a certain degree. We had to find another co-star.

DJ Pooh: One day we were sitting around watching Def Comedy Jam and we saw Chris [Tucker] perform and me and Cube couldn’t stop laughing. We thought, “This dude would be able to play the hell out of Smokey. Let’s see if we can get him to come in and read for him.” And that’s what happened and it was over like that.

I swear I'm trying to get pass that show, but, I'm stuck on Episode 5 they be going too far

The gay agenda is so serious that the kitty bitty nude scenes they have on there ain't worth it

Plus, I get that simps exist but I can't watch some dude fall over some tom foolery

 

[Silver Surfer]

Move on

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

Cube wanted to have it set in a prison

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

John Witherspoon dead

Tiny Lister dead

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

If you gonna make another Friday you basically have to copy the original format. Maybe have Craig comes back to live at home. His pops has passed so he the man of the house. Taking care of his sister and her kids. Dayday and whomever comes back around, bunch of stupid fukkery happens.

You can do it but shyt just ain't gonna look right no matter what unless he finds a new hilarious talent. Someone who can steal the show like Chris. Thats one in a 10 million tho.
