KILLER’S GAME Targets Ice Cube To Join Dave Bautista Assassin Thriller

Ice Cube is reportedly negotiating to star opposite actor Dave Bautista in D.J. Caruso’s upcoming adaptation of Jay Bonansinga’s 1997 novel, Killer’s Game. The project, according to Mike Fleming Jr. at Deadline, marks the latest development following 20 years of languishing between hands of studios and directors who’ve passed it up, including Jason Statham. Bautista, who was cast back in April, will star as Joe Flood, a principled veteran assassin who learns he is dying. Thinking his days are numbered and refusing suicide as it goes against his Catholic principles, he stakes a multi-million dollar prize on his own life, only to realize that he’s been misdiagnosed and is still in perfect health. Now he’s forced into a breakneck fight for survival against hungry gamesmen out for blood and a six-figure boost. Cube, as the report elucidates, will play one of the gamesmen who will hunt Flood down until game […]

RIDE ALONG 3 Is In Development

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart isn’t falling behind on his career any time soon, notably so with the release of his latest stand-up feature, What Now?, from Universal Pictures. In the meantime, the same could be said for his involvement in action comedy following two successful releases, Ride Along and Ride Along 2, also starring actor Ice Cube whose own comedic stint with actor Charlie Day in Richard Keen’s Fist Fight, opens in February next year. Tim Storms directed Ride Along in 2014 with actress Tika Sumpter and actors Hart and Cube leading the tale of a fast-talking security guard and aspiring cop whose obligatory all-or-nothing ride-along with his fiancé’s jaded detective brother-in-law turns into a race against time to fish out courrpt cops and catch an elusive criminal. Their coexistence as butting siblings continued in Miami pitting them against a charismatic crime lord. Both films helped earned the Universal-based […]

Is Ice Cube Joining xXx: THE RETURN OF XANDER CAGE?

Columbia Pictures Peep this. I just rambled about director Lee Tamahori’s 2005 sequel flub, xXx: State Of The Union, and you can click here to read it if it interests you. Low and behold however, filming is slated to begin next month for the third installation, xXx: The Return Of Xander Cage and the cast so far is looking pretty extraordinary. Actresses Deepika Padukone, Nina Dobrev and Ruby Rose, action stars Jet Li and UFC champion Conor McGregor and returning actor Samuel L. Jackson round out the current cast list with D.J. Caruso at the helm and Thai action star Tony Jaa as the latest confirmation to star. Now, word has it from a source privy to Moviehole that actor Ice Cube may be joining as well since starring in the sequel. The film was more than half bad in its delivery despite Cube’s own improving gravitas as an action […]

Now Available: xXx: STATE OF THE UNION (2005)

Colombia Pictures Director Lee Tamahori’s 2005 actioner, xXx: State Of The Union, wasn’t something I caught onto right away when it was released following Rob Cohen’s xXx in 2002. Point in fact, I completely dropped the ball even as it arrived on VHS and DVD over the years; It was one of those movies I never got around to. Low and behold, close to 11 years since then, I’ve finally had the chance to see it, essentially learning why it bombed as hard as it did at the box office. Looking at it from top to bottom, the film’s second half just plays out as a bitter reminder that it supposedly didn’t need Vin Diesel to be just as badass. Rapper-turned-actor Ice Cube replaces the franchise predecessor in claiming the title role as his own iteration of the titular tattooed badsss, here as a former soldier with a past as […]

Kevin Hart Is [Still] A Victim Of His Own Haplessness In The New Trailer For RIDE ALONG 2

Actor Kevin Hart and actress Tika Sumpter aren’t “Mr. and Mrs. Blackhammer” yet in director Tim Story‘s latest sequel follow-up, Ride Along 2, which is slightly discouraging what with all that the groom-to-be had to go through to prove himself to the disgruntled brother in-law played by Ice Cube. Nonetheless, the film, releasing on January 15, 2016, looks to guarantee a film full of comedy and action, building on the formula of its predecessor with more characters, including a tough femme fatale cop played by Olivia Munn with actor Benjamin Bratt as the apparent antagonist of this latest thrilling adventure. Kevin Hart and Ice Cube lead the returning lineup of Ride Along 2, the sequel to the blockbuster action-comedy that gave us the year’s most popular comedy duo. Joining Hart and Cube for the next chapter of the series are director Tim Story, as well as Cube’s fellow producers—Will Packer, […]

RIDE ALONG 2 Brandishes A New Poster

Director Tim Story‘s 2014 action comedy, Ride Along, felt slightly lukewarm than preferred while actor and comedian Kevin Hart helped carry the film’s much-needed comedy and slapstick. Whatever the case may be, the formula worked with lead actor Ice Cube in the mix along with Lawrence Fishburne and John Leguizamo as the film became the first title of the year to hold the number one spot for three consecutive weeks. Surely enough it set the tone for a sequel and following its announcement thereafter, Ride Along 2 is finally going viral with a new poster. The first film, starring Hart and Cube, saw the story of a tough cop who sets up a series of intentionally disatrous trials for his sister’s fianceé – a fast-talking secuity guard willing to do anything to prove his worthiness. Plot info is light on this one but clearly this isn’t going to be paradise […]

Ice Cube And Charlie Day's FIST FIGHT To Commence In September, Richie Keen To Direct

It was last month that Deadline broke the news of a new comedy from New Line cinema called Fist Fight. The nostalgia will run a bit high here as the film is being described as similar in tone as Phil Joanou’s 1987 teen dramedy, Three O’Clock High with a script by Van Robichaux and Evan Susser, and with Richie Keen now up to direct following his work on short films and TV shows like the hit Showtime series, Shameless, things are finally coming together for cameras to begin rolling in the next two months. Ride Along star Ice Cube and Horrible Bosses co-star Charlie Day are headlining the cast here which will see the story of a mild-mannered English teacher forced to deal with a colleague who thinks he’s trying to get him fired, and ultimately threatens to fight him after school…umm…work. 21 Laps is also backing the project and […]

The New NSFW Trailer For STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON Makes No Apologies

The cultural phenomenon of gangsta rap in the late eighties into the nineties became a leading voice for struggling Americans, especially minorities, with a message that would later unify hip-hop fans all around the world. Award-winning music group, NWA became a purveyor of this for its time, and to say that message struck a sour note with critics would be nothing short of a HUGE understatement. Aside from much of the explaining needed in front of the media, the music spoke for itself and continues to ressonate with generations to this day, to which Friday and The Italian Job helmer F. Gary Gray has since responded with his latest film, Universal Pictures’s Straight Outta Compton, based on the group’s hit 1988 title album. The film is set to arrive on August 14 following the album’s 27th anniversary, and on that note, we now have a red-band trailer that boldly delves […]
