For years there have been talks of a new Friday movie coming out and it looks like there’s been progress.

According to a report, Ice Cube says the final film is “ready to be announced.” He said he’s
working on a re-write with DJ Pooh.

He wanted it to come out on the 25th anniversary of Friday, which is April 26, 2020. It’s not clear if that will still happen.

Things have been taking long since Ice Cube wants it “done right.” Unfortunately, “Smokey” who is played by Chris Tucker has back out of joining “The Final Friday.”

This could be challenging since Smokey and Craig’s relationship was a vital part of the movie. Ice Cube is determined to recreate that classic interaction Craig had on the porch of his mom’s house.
