Ice Cube, the iconic rapper-turned-actor, may finally be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for the long-awaited sequel to ‘Friday After Next’. After years of battling for ownership and pushing through development hurdles, Cube has announced that ‘Last Friday’ is gaining traction at Warner Bros., thanks in part to recent leadership changes within the studio.
In a recent interview on Flavor Flav’s “Flavor of the Week” radio show, Cube expressed optimism about the project’s prospects under the new leadership of Mike De Luca at Warner Bros. De Luca, known for his tenure at New Line Cinema during Cube’s earlier projects like ‘Friday’ and ‘All About the Benjamins’, has now taken the reins at Warner Bros., potentially paving the way for smoother progress on ‘Last Friday’.
Cube has been vocal about the challenges he faced in securing the green light for ‘Last Friday’, citing multiple script rewrites and studio notes that delayed the project’s development. Despite these setbacks, Cube remained determined to bring closure to the franchise’s storyline, which began with the cult classic ‘Friday’ in 1995.
The franchise, known for launching the careers of actors like Chris Tucker and Mike Epps, has amassed a loyal fan base over the years. With each installment surpassing its predecessor at the box office, expectations are high for ‘Last Friday’ to continue the tradition of comedic excellence and cultural impact.
While specific details about the film’s production timeline remain under wraps, Cube hinted at the possibility of key cast members returning and potential new additions to the ensemble. Fans can expect more updates as development progresses and as Cube continues his mission to bring ‘Last Friday’ to the big screen.
