Ice Cube, Mike Epps, and Terry Crews will team up again in ‘Janky Promoters’. The film will be directed by Marcus Raboy, who worked with them in the 2002 comedy ‘Friday After Next’.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Janky” follows the shenanigans of a pair of shady concert promoters (Cube and Epps), self-described “Modesto’s finest,” who get in over their heads when they get a shot at booking a big-name hip-hop act (an actual rapper whose deal was closing Tuesday). Complications come in the form of a pot-growing neighborhood nemesis named Mondo and Cube’s character’s son (Nickelodeon star Little JJ), who is under contract with the old man.

Shooting begins Monday in Sherman Oaks, though the movie is set in Modesto, Calif., and takes place in a single day.

“It’s Cube going back to his roots as a writer and an actor,” Raboy said. “He’s writing about a world that he knows.”

Added Raboy: “It’s cut from the same stone as ‘Friday.’ It’s definitely new characters and a new world here, but it’s of the same vibe. It’s gonna be grounded but colorful. We’re not tryiing to do broad comedy; we’re trying to do comedy with an edge.”
