Ice Cube has reached a deal to write and star in a new "Friday" movie for Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema. Titled "Last Friday", it will be the fourth installment in the comedy series and the first in over 20 years. The last film was "Friday After Next" in 2002.
The rapper and actor had been in negotiations for some time for this project. In June 2024, he shared that there was "traction" for a new movie at the studio after Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy took over the studio's film division in 2022: "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."
Ice Cube starred in all three "Friday" movies. The original "Friday" was released in 1995 and was followed by "Next Friday" in 2000 and "Friday After Next" in 2002. He co-wrote the first film with DJ Pooh, but did solo script work on the two sequels. All three films were developed by New Line, which was run by De Luca at the time of the original trilogy’s production. Warner Bros. later went on to purchase New Line, giving Warner Bros. control of "Friday" franchise rights.
