When Ice Cube gets angry, laughs are sure to follow. His attitude has been a big part of what made both 21 Jump Street movies and Ride Along so funny, and now we'll get an entire movie of Cube screaming at people as he's set to star in Humbug, a reimagining of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
Cube is set to star as an updated version of Ebeneezer Scrooge, reimagined as a wealthy real estate mogul who looks down on everybody. That is until he's haunted by the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future who show him the error of his ways. Tim Story, who worked with Cube on Barbershop and Ride Along is on board to direct from a script by Todd R. Jones and Earl Richey Jones.
Universal hopes to have the film ready for 2017, presumably around the holidays. [Deadline]
