It is actually been actually 12 years due to the fact that our company obtained the final “Friday” film along with the Christmas-set “Friday After Next,” however Ice Cube– superstar, author, and also manufacturer of the prominent film collection– isn’t quiting chance on a minimum of another payment.
Consulting With Taste Flav for his SirusXM series “Flavor of the Week,” Cube also revealed that a fourth film might eventually remain in advancement.
“We’re working on it. We finally got some traction with Warner Bros.,” Cube claimed. “They have new leadership, my man Mike De Luca, who used to be at New Line when I first started, when I first did the first ‘Friday’ and ‘Players Club’ and ‘All About the Benjamins.’ Mike De Luca was there. So, now he’s running Warner Bros. And him and my man Michael Gruber was like, ‘Yo, what the fuck is going on with ‘Friday’? Man, let’s get this shit back online.’”
In response to Gruber’s reviews, Cube claimed, “I was a little hot because they had took so long. You know, John Witherspoon passed away, Tiny [Tommy Lister. Jr.] passed away, A.J. Johnson passed away. So I’m like, man, we keep losing people and y’all keep dickin’ around, not doing the movie the way it need to be done. They want to do it, but the key is, it got to be done right or we shouldn’t fuck with it.”
IndieWire connected to Detector Bros. for talk about the advancement of a fourth “Friday” film.
Cube has actually levelled concerning his fight with Detector Bros. previously, in addition to various other business concerns. Cube informed The Exchange Publication in 2021 that he will remained in advancement on “Last Friday,” the fourth film in the collection, for a years, however the center maintained postponing the venture. Back then, Cube and also his attorneys had actually desired WB to relinquish their legal rights over the “Friday” franchise business, directing at bias being one of the causes responsible for the center’s rejection to create the film.
Depending On to WSJ: “The possibility of discrimination has also emerged as a flashpoint in the conversations. In one letter, Ice Cube’s representative wrote that movies he has done for the studio ‘are habitually underfunded in comparison with projects featuring white casts and creative teams.’ The correspondence points to other Ice Cube films he says weren’t well supported.”
A representative for Detector Bros. claimed as any kind of bias criticisms are actually “grounded in a libelous set of knowing falsehoods,” incorporating, “We strongly disagree with any claims of discriminatory treatment, and stand by our ongoing and proven commitment to support diverse voices and storytellers and will continue to do so as we move forward.”
The good news is, it seems to be Cube and also Detector Bros. perform far better phrases with each other and also all set to reach operate. Permit’s wish our company will not must stand by excessive additional Fridays for the upcoming payment.
