Ice Cube In Talks To Star In Remake of 1948 Comedy
Ice Cube is in talks with Revolution Studios to star in the remake of the 1948 comedy “Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House.”
The original 1948 version featured legendary American actor Carey Grant and actress Myrna Loy, who both starred in the roles movie at the height of their acting careers.
The original version was about an advertising executive named Jim Blanding (Grant/Ice Cube) and his wife (Myrna Loy), who live in a cramped New York apartment with two young daughters and a live-in maid.
The couple ends up buying a house in the Connecticut countryside, only to find out their dream house is actually falling apart.
The movie was somewhat updated in 1986, when Tom Hanks and Shelly Long starred in “The Money Pit,” which adapted the themes of the 1948 comedy.
The film is being directed by Steve Carr, who also directed Cube’s “Next Friday” as well as “Daddy Daycare” and a new movie starring Martin Lawrence, titled “Rebound.”
