Ice Cube Gets Funny on ‘First Sunday’

New comedy for the funny Cube?

What up Ice Cube? Was xXx 2 so bad they won’t give you anything but comedies from now on? Apparently Cube is set for yet another laffer as Screen Gems tapped him to star in First Sunday for debut director David E. Talbert.

Talbert, best known as a playwright, penned the script which casts Cube as one of two men who bungle an attempt to heist money from a church. They wind up taking its parishioners hostage, and those churchgoers slowly convert the robbers to see the error of their ways.Filming will begin May 14 in Los Angeles and Baltimore, with pic to be released to coincide with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

I guess Cube’s career is all summed up when Variety says:

Movie returns Ice Cube to the arena in which he’s found the most film success: making modestly budgeted pics with urban appeal.

Cube, at least Friday was a funny comedy, give your fans what they want!

How do you feel about the Cuban revolutionary?
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel' still look strong independently
Better get out there and get one last theatrical experience
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel Getting Married' lead the way with six noms
Goes to show the influence the fanboys and girls have on the Internet
Preparing to sum it all up...
The director shuffle on meaningless movies
Wanted, Narnia, Step Brothers and Casablanca lead off the week
Turn your brain off and enjoy
It's a miracle I am still awake to talk about it

Yup, he actually likes it... a lot I would say
'Kung Fu Panda' leads the way with 17, nine for 'Bolt' and eight for 'WALL-E'
Feeling an urge to at least say something
Ahhhh, gotta like that word - 'cerebral'
I can't get on board with this thinking
'Benjamin Button' gets the international shaft
A director is possibly named...
Live from the set of Malta... well... not really live...
Jack's back and while the prequel ain't much there's still hope
Crazy makes for a fun film, but not necessarily a good one
Four Christmases pulls a slight upset...
Front loaded weekends are hard to follow-up
Will the guest stars outshine the lead?
It's a feast of post-holiday pictures
Van Damme can certainly play himself, but is that where it ends?
