Ice Cube's "Last Friday" May Not Happen Over Beef With the Studio

Ice Cube's "Friday" franchise has been a staple comedy in the black community. The movie came out in 1995, and has had a few sequels that followed, which introduced us to Mike Epps. Well there was supposed to be "Last Friday," which was said to have been in the works for the past 10 years, but it looks like that may not happen. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ice Cube and Warner Bros., the studio that owns the rights to the Friday franchise, are going back and forth over the final and fourth film. Apparently things have gotten so bad that Ice Cube and the studio are bumping heads to the point of threatening to stop the movie all together. There are disagreements over creative direction, accusations that neither side is engaging in a sincere manner and finger pointing over who is causing the delays. Word is the studio keeps trying to make script changes and Cube isn't with it. Ice Cube wants Warner Bros., owned by AT&T Inc., to surrender its rights to the “Friday” property and to two other movies he made there, “All About the Benjamins” and “The Players Club." Well it's getting heated because Warner Bros. replied, calling the demand “extortionate” and saying it won’t release rights to the valuable franchise or any other Ice Cube movies, according to the correspondence. So as of now, the fate of the movie seems to be up in the air. Were you looking forward to another installment of "Friday"?
