Ice Cube is reportedly getting ready to produce an adaptation of the Shannon Eric Denton/Keith Giffen graphic novel 10, and will also be starring in the film as well.
According to Variety, Cube's own CubeVision production company is in talks to produce the film, which is setup at Dimension Films.
The graphic novel, 10, tells the story of a man who receives a piece of what looks like junk mail informing him that he's now in a competition with nine other people who have become unwilling contestants in a game of death.
He throws away the letter, but a mysterious man shows up at his door with an axe. Given 10 bullets and a gun, it's kill or be killed as they're forced to hunt the other 10 contestants.
Gustin Nash and Jesse Cale are writing the screenplay, though a director has not been assigned at this time.
There is no start date for the project, but it may not start until Cube has finished his big screen adaptation of "Welcome Back, Kotter."
Cube would co-produce along with CubeVision partner Matt Alvarez and David Alpert & Rick Jacobs of Circle of Confusion.
