Seasoned filmmaker Ice Cube explains why he went with a far-from-festive Christmas storyline for Friday After Next
UpRising: As a writer, Cube, how did you land on the Christmas premise for Friday After Next?
Ice Cube: I wanted to do a California Christmas movie. No one would ever do a Christmas like us. I've seen Christmas [on the West Coast] my whole life. And so I set out to blend the two from not just being a Friday movie but wrapped up in a holiday so I can really show how we celebrate Christmas on the West Coast where there’s no snow on the ground. It's Christmas lights on palm trees and shit like that. I just wanted to cinematically show how we do Christmas on the West Coast.
