It’s been 12 years since we got the last “Friday” movie with the Christmas-set “ Friday After Next,” but Ice Cube — star, writer, and producer of the popular film series — isn’t giving up hope on at least one more installment. Speaking with Flavor Flav for his SirusXM show “Flavor of the Week,” Cube even announced that a fourth film may finally be in development. “We’re working on it.
We finally got some traction with Warner Bros. ,” Cube said. “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 reaction to Gruber’s comments, Cube said, “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 reached out to Warner Bros.
for comment on the development of a fourth “Friday” film. Cube has been open about his struggles with Warner Bros. in the past, as well as other industry issues.
