He then added: “That shit is humorous. After they rejected it, that they had all these motion pictures about going to jail. Orange Is the New Black, Get Onerous, so I used to be like, ‘Man, see, y’all f*cked me up.'”
Dice’s second script was “in regards to the children within the hood having beef with the OGs within the hood, and Craig has to come back again and squash that. As a result of Smokey’s [Tucker’s] son is the brand new Deebo [Tommy Lister Jr.], and he is wilding.”
With reference to that one, Dice stated WB “tripped on it. They fucked round, after which John Witherspoon [who played Craig’s father, Willie Jones] handed, [Lister Jr.] handed, [Ezal actor A.J. Johnson] handed. There’s quite a lot of characters who had been going to return to the hood. They simply f*cked it up.”
There’s no phrase on what model of Final Friday he’ll develop. It may very well be one in every of these or it may very well be one thing utterly completely different. We’ll simply have to attend and see.
