The film “Friday” along with the sequels are three classic projects that illuminated Black households with comedy and memories.
After the recent death of Tommy “Tiny” Lister, it’s without a doubt the “Last Friday” won’t be in the making.
Fictional character Willie “Pops” Jones played by the late John Witherspoon was the first blow that shattered a possible project.
Witherspoon was the fan-favorite outside of Chris Tucker who played the character Smokey.
Prior to the deaths of the Bernie legendary Mac, Witherspoon, and Lister, amazing talent such as Yvette Wilson and Ronald Rey left too soon.
Mike Epps, Nia Long, Terry Crews, Chris Tucker, Katt Williams, and other various acts are in their own lane making successful moves.
Cube last year in December tweeted about New Line Cinema’s failure of consistency to move forward with the project.
“Back to the drawing board since New Line Cinema was slow on green-lighting the LAST FRIDAY script that was full of Mr. Jones. I’ve been pissed off about it since Spoon passed away.”
Cube paid his respects to Lister yesterday on Twitter after it was confirmed the 62-year-old passed away.
