Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ok, I should have checked IMDB first. I will say that the actor playing Cube looks like he pulls off young Ice Cube well. The other guy pulls off looking like old ass Dr. Dre pretty well, which is weird because Dr. Dre was fatter and, well, younger looking back then.

Biz Smarkie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Nope. not unless they do a "where are they now?" mention at the end. the guy in between cube and dre is the fourth member of the group, mc ren. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The guy playing Ice Cube looks the part. The other guys aren't hitting the mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Ok, I see what's going on. Jesus Christ, I thought I was losing my goddamn mind. I'm thinking the dudes at the top really looked like Dre and Cube because that is Dre and Cube. Dudes at the bottom are the new dudes, which is still fucked up. Ice Cube's kid kinda looks like young Ice Cube. Corey Hawkins on the other hand looks nothing like Dr. Dre. Dude's face looks like a fucking alien and he's skinny as shit. The guy playing MC Ren also kinda looks like MC Ren, but this is all kinds of fucked up. And the more I keep looking at Ice Cube's kid, the more I keep thinking he looks like a combination of Cube and Eazy-E. Fuck me though, I am all retarded this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It also just occurred to me that inevitably, there's going to be a biopic about the Beastie Boys and that will make me really fucking furious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Smarkie Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It throws me off that the ice cube kid isn't at least 60 pounds fatter . Cube was chunky back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.T. Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 It throws me off that the ice cube kid isn't at least 60 pounds fatter . Cube was chunky back in the day. Cube wasn't that chunky. He just had a very wide face. You must be thinking about AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted era Cube when he really started putting on weight. The guy in the middle of the biopic photo looks close enough to Ren to pass muster. Even Ren does not look like Ren these days. Poor Yella. No one gives a crap about that guy.

Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Was Ice Cube still in NWA when Boyz n the Hood came out? He lived up to his Doughboy name well in that movie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgundy LaRue Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The guy playing Ice Cube is actually his son Well, that explains it. Looking at the younger Ren, the actor is close enough. Dang, Ren has changed a lot over the years. But the Dr. Dre actor? Nope. That's not on the mark at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wpdougie2180 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 The guy in the middle of Cube's son & not Dre isn't playing Ren he's playing Easy-E & the guy inbetween real Dr. Dre & Ice Cube is the director F. Gary Grey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 That can't be right...Kid in the middle has to be playing MC Ren. If he's really playing Eazy-E, then that's a bigger fuck up appearance wise that the dude who is playing Dr. Dre. Jesus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 And...what the fuck? F. Gary Gray and Ice Cube are working together and they're making this shit instead of an actually good follow-up to Friday. And I just threw up in my mouth realizing that one day we'll get another Friday movie, but this time Ice Cube is the cranky dad and fucking Kendrick Lamar or someone similar plays his son.

bazzil Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 My only hope with the movie is that Ren gets the recognition he deserves. Not being in the first promo pic in any form isnt a great start to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
