Ice Cube Draws From The Comic World For New Flick

Ice Cube's film company, Cube Vision, is currently in negotiations to produce a big screen adaptation of the graphic novel 10.

According to Daily Variety, Cube (born O'Shea Jackson) will star in the flick as a man who receives junk mail informing him that he's in a competition with nine others and that whoever gets out alive wins. Cube's character throws away the letter but then a man toting an ax shows up at his door.

Cube Vision reportedly wants to produce the flick with production company Circle of Confusion.

Cube is currently filming the comedy First Sunday in which he plays one of two men who attempt to rob a church. The flick is expected to open in theaters in January 2008.

Cube is also gearing to release a compilation containing sixteen of his best songs featured in his films throughout the years. The disc, which hits stores September 4, will feature tracks from Friday, Higher Learning, Boyz N Da Hood and The Players Club, among others.
