Cube’s production company, Cube Vision, tasted success last year with its first effort, the comedy "Next Friday," and it's hoping to follow-up with "All About the Benjamins," due March 8, and "Friday After Next," slated to be released around next Thanksgiving. Both films star Cube and funnyman partner Mike Epps, "Next Friday’s" main attractions.
"With Epps, the first project we worked on together, he was new to it," Cube said Friday during a satellite press conference he delivered from Los Angeles. "He didn’t know what to expect from the whole experience. He’s done a few movies in between, [so] he’s just more comfortable with acting [now]. The chemistry seems to flow. We’re working on our third movie together, which is ‘Friday After Next,’ [and] we’re in such a flow that it's kind of like some of them old-school teams of comedy pairs you used to see. We plan on doing three more movies together."
"Cube is a expert. He’s a good coach," Epps added. "As a player, you just have to listen to him. After doing this many films with him, I know what he wants. I know what his comedy consists of."
In "Benjamins," Cube plays Bucum, a Miami bounty hunter who dreams of opening his own private dick agency. On his latest case, he’s on the trail of Epps’ character, Reggie, a petty thief on the verge of changing his life.
The two are forced to become partners when they get tangled up with a pair of jewel thieves after Reggie witnesses one of their crimes.
"I went off the script a little bit," Epps said of the filming. "It’s hard staying on the script. Ice Cube allows us to adlib. He’ll let me get mine in, tell me to say an extra muthaf---a. He always gives me extra leeway."
