Remember when Ice Cube made Three Kings and it sort of looked like his acting career was turning a corner and he was going to start making better, smarter movies? That thought didn't last long as he went on the make countless Friday sequels, Are We There/Done Yet, and probably the worst of the bunch, xXx: State of the Union. Well, he might have hit a new low with a project that sounds like like it will play to every sports cliche from the history of motion pictures. He also found a good director to helm the project. The news comes from Coming Soon.
Dimension Films has set a November 26 start date for Comeback, an inspirational sports drama that Ice Cube will star in and produce. Fred Durst will direct.

The film is based on a true story, and Cube will play a former high school football star who takes his niece under his wing as she becomes the first female quarterback in Pop Warner football history. The 11-year old QB, Jasmine Plummer, led her team to the Pop Warner tournament, and became the first female to play in the tournament's 56-year history.
