Ice Cube, who just premiered his documentary Straight Outta L.A. at the Tribeca Film Festival, is returning to Hollywood for a drama that’s straight out of the headlines in L.A. Cube will star with Woody Harrelson and Ben Foster in Rampart, the James Ellroy-scripted drama about police corruption that will be directed this summer by Oren Moverman. It’s Moverman’s followup to his directorial debut The Messenger, the film that starred Harrelson and Foster, and got Moverman an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay.
Cube will play a homicide detective sent to investigate a dirty cop (Harrelson) in a drama that is squarely based on the scandal involving crooked Los Angeles cops in the 1990s. Aside from Straight Outta L.A. (which premieres on ESPN May 11), Cube and his Cube Vision partner Matt Alvarez produced Lottery Ticket, the Alcon Entertainment Warner Bros comedy that opens August 20, and with Ali LeRoy and Joe Roth they are exec producers of Are We There Yet?, a series that bows on TBS June 2. If the movie spinoff reaches a certain ratings threshold over the first 10 episodes, TBS will pick up another 90 episodes. UTA and Prospect Park rep Cube.
Loading ...
cube is super fucking awesome
LOL, I wrote a script about the Rampart scandal as part of a screenwriting class in college.
Huh. And look how much good it did you.
It was a school writing assignment 10 years ago you effing douche. It did me just fine.
LA cops are corrupt???????
Good for Cube and Alvarez, they are awesome. And I heard Lottery Ticket is a solid flick and it apparently tested very high.
So are Foster and Harrelson becoming the Hope and Crosby of message dramas?
i will see ice cube in any drama he does. period.
“If the movie spinoff reaches a certain ratings threshold over the first 10 episodes, TBS will pick up another 90 episodes”
Holy crap. Is this normal?
Nice to see Cube going back to his Boyz n the Hood and Three King days and showing off his acting chops again. This guy is doing comedy, drama and tv, who would have thought he would go from NWA to hollywood mogul?
Enough already! Fuck me, how many godamn movies can hollywood make about Rampart? There’s one every year! They’re all the same.
Theres a good cop, he finds out that fellow cops are bad. He’s conflicted and then there’s a scene where cholos in dodger jerseys beat him up and they steal a ton of coke. How original.
LET. IT. GO.
Oh, my goodness. Look at Mr. Ice Cube. He looks so angry!
If you look at Tyler Perry’s shows on TBS, it doesn’t surprise me that they would order that many eps if the show does well. Granted, I think it’s STUPID to order 100 eps right away – but hell, it isn’t MY money.
look at that mug.
Why, oh why, are they even thinking of remaking The Shield?
