Ice Cube and his Three Kings director David O Russell are in talks with New Line to re-team to create a potential franchise. Cube will play a plainclothes detective who's quick on the trigger in an R-rated raw drama that's thematically a throwback to those 70s revenge films like the Harry Callahan movies that starred Clint Eastwood. The deals are underway and the idea was hatched by Russell and New Line chief Toby Emmerich, and they brought it to Cube. Russell will produce with Cube and his Cube Vision partner Matt Alvarez. They are still working out the beats of the story, but Russell and Cube were eager to work together again, in another edgy, R-rated adult drama that is an homage to those 70s pictures like Dirty Harry and Death Wish. While Cube is most readily identified with Los Angeles, the tough cop's locale hasn't yet been determined.

Sounds interesting. I'd like to see Ice Cube do some action movies. XXX 2 movie he did was alright. Trespass action movie he did with Ice T and Bill Paxton sucked but the soundtrack is good. Ice Cube should stop making albums also LOL. The last 4 albums he's done aren't good. He has a new album out called Iam The West.
