ICE CUBE PLANS NEW FRIDAY MOVIE WITH ORIGINAL CAST

The speculation is over … Ice Cube has finally confirmed he’s resurrecting the ‘Friday’ franchise … telling TMZ the goal is to bring back the entire ORIGINAL cast … including Chris Tucker.
A rep for Cube Vision Productions tells us … “Absolutely yes the studio is in the process of getting the entire original cast to do another ‘Friday.’”
The statement continues, “[Ice Cube] is very excited about this and has every intention to make it happen.”
Just last month, TMZ spoke with the musclebound behemoth who played DeBo … who told us both he and Chris Tucker are down to reunite for the 4th installment of the ‘Friday’ franchise … but they still have to work out their contracts.
Of course, nothing is ever official until the ink is dry — and you know this … MAN!
