LOS ANGELES — “You got knocked the f*ck out!” Only took 22 years but it’s finally gonna happen. During a recent appearance on Flavor Flav’s SiriusXM show (Flavor of the Week), Ice Cube announced “Last Friday” is in the works. Yessir. It’ll be the fourth and final installment in the popular film series. The last movie, “Friday After Next,” came out in 2002. “We’re working on it,” Cube told Flavor Flav. “We finally got some traction with Warner Bros. They have new leadership. My man Mike DeLuca — who used to be at New Line [Cinema] when I first started, when I first did the first Friday and Players Club and All About the Benjamins — Mike DeLuca was there. So, now he’s running Warner Bros. And him and my man Michael Gruber was like, ‘Yo, what the f*ck is going on with Friday? Man, let’s get this sh*t back online.’” Chris Tucker, a born-again Christian who’s against smoking marijuana and using profanity, said he’s open to reprising his weed-puffin’ role of Smokey.

But he lambasted Warner Bros. for taking their sweet time.

“It’s studios, and they gotta want to do it,” Chris, 52, told Big Tigger during a chinwag on Atlanta’s V-103 radio station.

“And then it’s producers and all that stuff. It’s a lot that goes with it.”

Cube, 55, shared a homogeneous sentiment. Since the first “Friday” was released in 1995, three of its stars have died. There will be no Mr. Jones, no Deebo, and no Ezal. “You know, I was a little hot because they had took so long,” Cube admitted to Flav. “John Witherspoon passed away, [Tommy ‘Tiny’ Lister Jr.] passed away, [Anthony ‘AJ’ Johnson] passed away. I’m like, ‘Man, we keep losing people, and y’all keep dicking around, not doing the movie the way it needed to be done.’”

Social media reaction was pessimistic.

One commenter wrote, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Another chimed in with, “Won’t be the same without Tiny Lister Jr, John Witherspoon and AJ Johnson.”

A third viewer added, “They waited too long. 65% of the cast is dead💀.”

My thing is, what’s the plot?

You can’t have Craig and Smokey unemployed while sedentary on a porch, puffin’ marijuana all day in their 50s.

They’re too old for that sh*t.

One mo’ thang…

What about Mrs. Parker?

You know, the sexy housewife married to a midget who f*cked the town pastor behind his back?

Is she still beddable after all these years?

Nevertheless…

The first “Friday” movie grossed around $28 million worldwide with an estimated budget of $3.5 million.

Do you want another sequel?

Or, should they leave the sh*t alone?

Watch Cube’s big announcement.

  1. Ice cube put alot of ppl on the map, crazy seeing little megan good in the first friday movie

  2. “Ain’t nobody takin no stinkin dump in MY toilet! I grab a dog and just CHOKE THE SHIT OUT OF IT🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣” John Witherspoon is a legend. Rip, you’ll be remembered!

  3. Friday was the best out of the franchise
    Friday after next was good
    Next Friday was trash

  4. Love ice cube ❤❤❤ he’s a legend icon so happy for him and all of his sucess god bless him and his beautiful family

  5. “Last Friday”, please tell me this is not gonna be the third time where he writes a whole new script but then it gets stalled again.

  6. He’s already presented like 11 different scripts to New Line Cinema 🎥 over the last 10 years, but they be turning down his ideas and want him to change things in the script smh 😞 that’s why it’s been delayed.. today’s era so sensitive including Hollywood

  7. please dont make it like Friday after Next. One of the worst movies in history.

  8. Ice Cube is good friends with Tucker Carlson. No way would I ever support that sell-out 👎🏽
    You’re a low IQ fool if you do.

  9. Cube, Tucker, Epps, DC Curry ect better be in this ie don’t do it at all. LEAVE SHIT ALONE

  10. Eddie did Coming 2 America and Beverly Hills Cop 4. Everyone pulling out old tricks means they really hungry for money. 😂

  11. I’ve been waiting on this movie since 2010. I was in middle school back then. I’m working on my bachelor’s degree right now, and here we go again. This is what, the third time now, it’s being developed?! 2 scripts rejected, is the recent one being reworked or are we getting a whole new script, where we gotta wait a whole year and a half for it to come out? This would’ve been Friday 6 if those two scripts were shot.

    In fact, they should have did it around 2005 or whatever, and we would have been at the 14th movie called Freaky Friday After The 13th by now. 2007 was the last time we had Friday content which was the animated series on MTV, if that counts. If we count the BIG 3 commercial in 2018, maybe.

    Realistically speaking, I feel like the only returning people would be Ice Cube, Mike Epps, Katt Williams, Don DC Curry, Terry Crews, Rickey Smiley, Michael Blackson, Jacob Vargas, Anna Maria Horsford, Clifton Powell.

    Hopefully Nia Long, Kym Whitley, Regina King, Lisa Rodriguez, KD Aubert, Maz Jobrani, Bebe Drake, Sommore, Faizon Love, Ronn Riser, Amy Hill, and Khleo Thomas come back.

    Chris Tucker said a few months ago that he would do the movie if DC Young Fly plays his son. Chris Tucker tried to punk out when the first script was being written in 2012.

  12. It needs to be as hood as the first one, keep it good comedy and not Hollywood comedy, make it for the real ones, keep the jokes natural with the past actors who have been in the Friday movies before

  13. It’s about dam time I say ice cube goes back to having his son and dc young fly play Smokey and Craig jr and do a big funeral scene for everyone that has died and make it something special I would love to see him do something big like that and who ever is alive make sure they are there the joker twins his past girlfriends who ever his wife is I would love a storyline where day day got back together with his ex and she is a skinny and sexy now that would be hysterical there is still different directions he can take it

  14. Chris didn’t want kids thinking smoking marijuana was cool. He said it back then that wasn’t him

  15. He can literally make the movie starting with the death of the characters who actually died. That alone jumpstart the new series

  16. this next friday needs both mike epps and chris tucker beefing over who is a better friend to cube lol

  17. Apparently the studio is trying to have about 95% control of the movie instead of letting Cube let loose & be creative like he has when the franchise first started in 19MFin95 him and DJ Pooh.

  18. Man make a movie called Saturday I know it’s not that simple … but all friday movies taught life lessons to all races bro and im speaking this into existence.. yes its business involved when it comes to music but ice cube alone is a business .. i can actually see ice cube having his own studio productions tbh .. i wish Tyler Perry would publicly reach out to help.

  19. All he gotta do is get chris and Mike epps. The movie already rolling in the right direction but it gotta be a trio comedy

  20. Yo Cube!!! All You Have To Do Is Doing A New Movie And Call It Saturday!!!! A Whole New Day.. That Would Be The SHIT!!! Warner Bros Can’t Do Anything About That!!!

  21. Man fck Hollywood.. we could have a lot more classics from the wayans, cube and so many others… it’s a damn shame. Smh… just like the music industry

  22. That shit gon b weak all the stars dead just leave it alone and chris tucker a “Christian” it aint no point tbh

  23. @BigDawg: I was thinking the same thing they waited, now most of the heart of the original Friday they all passed away now. I wish Chris really didn’t care about the money and just did it anyway for the culture, beecause now we’ll never see a Smokey, Ezel, Pops, and Debo on the screen ever again unless we rewatch Friday. Whenever Last Friday do drop, they got to do a tribute! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹…R.I.P Bernie too

  24. It ain’t the same now that so many greats have died hell just losing John Witherspoon alone makes it tough
