It is a proposal that is not normally refused, that the rapper and actor Ice cube just rejected en bloc! As reported by Hollywood Reporter, the former member of the group NWA sent off the production of the feature film Oh Hell No because he does not want … to be vaccinated! This film, which was to be shot this winter in Hawaii by director Kitao Sakurai (to whom we owe the film Bad Trip on Netflix), will therefore have to be done without Ice Cube, to the chagrin of Sony and the actor Jack Black, who was to share the poster with the 52-year-old artist. For now, no one has wanted to react to this news.
The interpreter of Today was a good day sat on a huge cachet, by ignoring this achievement: $ 9 million! Jack Black and the production of Oh Hell No are now looking for a replacement for this film, which is scheduled for release in June 2022 in the United States.
The old friend of Dr. Dre does not hide his political positions and his refusal to be vaccinated against the coronavirus, like many other celebrities. But despite being against vaccination, the artist is pushing people to wear the mask: he even donated 2,000 masks to a university last August and started a donation campaign for healthcare workers during pandemic, in April 2020.
It’s not the only movie project Ice Cube lets go of along the way. Indeed, the one that we could see in Boyz in The Hood or Straight Outta Compton, abandoned the boxing movie Flint Strong, – in which he was to play a trainer, – for reasons which remain unclear. The shooting of this film was suspended because of the pandemic, in March 2020. Produced by the giant Universal and retracing the life of the young boxer Clarissa Shields known as T-Rex, it is now being reenacted, since filming resumed last June.
