Ice Cube may do another "Friday" film

It has been eight years since the last Friday film. The last film was titled Friday After Next. Unlike the first two films, the production and quality was obviously cheaper. While a few of the performers in the original film returned, most of the supporting cast was replaced. This included the role of "Deebo."

Because of all of the replacements and Deebo being replaced by Damien, portrayed by Terry Crews, the film was panned. Even the second film, Next Friday, was not as acclaimed as the original film. Following the 1995 film, Friday, Chris Tucker refused to come back to portray the role of Smokey.

For the following films, Mike Epps stepped in as DayDay, the cousin of Ice Cube's Craig. In 2007, Cube spoke of the possibility of creating another Friday film. He said that he had been speaking with some people and it could be coming. However, Ice Cube said that the only way that it could happen was if Tucker returned.

Obviously, Chris Tucker did not return for the 2007 film because the 2007 film never happened. Instead, Cube decided to create a new film series. Now, with demand for another Friday still high, Ice Cube is trying to make it happen once again. He has reached out to the same people and his condition is that Chris Tucker returns. For this film, he wants to unite DayDay and Smokey for the first time. In Next Friday, it is alluded to that the two do actually know each other despite not having any screen time together.

Because Chris Tucker announced himself as born again, it may be harder than ever to get him to return and play the role of Smokey.
