Ice Cube works on a new Disney movie and signs on to produce new Bow Wow sitcom.

While Disney hasn’t always been the home of many Hip Hop related projects, the studio is working to release Chrome and Paint, a new film project by Ice Cube. The flick will center around car culture, as the title suggests and it will be co-written, co-directed and co-produced by Cube, who will also make an appearance in the movie. 

Matt Alvarez, Cube’s partner in CubeVision, will co-direct and co-produce the film. Eva Vives has signed off to write the film. Vives is best known for her 2002 film, Raising Victor Vargas.  

The film, based on a 2006 Cube song by the same name, was meant to be a gritty picture but Disney’s affiliation has somewhat changed things. While the film may not be getting the R-rated treatment anymore, it will still be about car culture. According to Hollywood Reporter, the film will be about a young man who loses his father and then begins to rebuild a car that belonged to him. Cube is said to star in the film as a family friend who helps.

Cube also has his sights set on television projects as news recently hit that he would be producing a new television series starring Bow Wow.
