Ice Cube and Tommy Lee Jones to Star in ‘Outside Man’ Directed by Brian Helgeland
In an exciting development in the film industry, Ice Cube and Tommy Lee Jones are set to star in the upcoming movie Outside Man, directed and written by Oscar-winner Brian Helgeland. The project will be produced by Jillian Share and Jen Gorton through Teton Ridge Entertainment, alongside Cube and Jeff Kwatinetz from Cube Vision. Bill Gerber will also take on a producing role.
