As some of you may have heard, rapper Ice Cube is in the running to play B.A. Baracus in John Singleton's upcoming theatrical take on the classic 80's action TV show, "The A-Team." When Cube sat down with us to chat up his new film "First Sunday," the focus inevitably turned to the former, with Cube sharing his take on the character that Mr. T made famous.
"I don't wanna make a two-hour TV show," Cube said of reports about the film's grittier feel. "I wanna make a hardcore movie with these characters you remember, but I'm not trying to be Mr. T. I'm not going to wear all the gold and all that stuff. I think that's his thing. I'm gonna bring my flavor to the role. We're taking it to the big screen so it's something different." Watch Cube talk it up in the video below, and then click here to read the rest of the interview.
What do you do when your funniest partner-in-crime also just happens to be the Haley's Comet of actors, and people keep asking whether you'll ever reunite for a true "Friday" sequel? According to Ice Cube, you wait.
It's Friday, Chris Tucker ain't got no job (at least nothing on his upcoming schedule), and ain't got nothing to do (now that publicity has wrapped for "Rush Hour 3"). Can Ice Cube convince him to return to the hood for a follow-up to their 1995 "smoking" hot hit?
