Ice Cube To Executive Produce And Star In "Willie" - AllHipHop

Ice Cube To Executive Produce And Star In “Willie”

Ice Cube will executive produce and star in a new film, "Willie." Casting has started on the drama, which is based on the true story of Willie Davis, who served as a full time janitor of Louisiana’s Arthur Smith Junior High and was also the school’s basketball coach. Davis led the team to three district championships, touted an impressive 101-21 record and all of his starters earned straight A report cards. Davis, who has been featured on HBO and in Sports Illustrated, is seeking to earn his college degree. With the help of a donation from an unknown philanthropist who was moved by his story on HBO, Davis returned to college and has started started taking courses through Northwestern State University’s Internet studies program. "Willie" is the first of several films Ice Cube will produce under a deal between his Cube Vision productions and Revolution Studios. Cube will also produce two other films under the deal with Revolution, the action film "Clash" and the roadtrip comedy "Are We There Yet?" Filming for "Willie" starts in the fall.
