Ice Cube
Hip-hop legend and filmmaker Ice Cube, born O’Shea Jackson, has dropped a gripping trailer for his modern reimagining of WAR OF THE WORLDS, set to hit theaters in spring 2026. The Cube Vision-produced sci-fi thriller, directed by Cube himself, reinterprets H.G. Wells’ classic novel with a gritty, urban twist, showcasing a diverse cast led by Cube and his son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., battling an alien invasion in a dystopian Los Angeles. The trailer, released on Cube’s social media and X, features pulsating beats from his upcoming album MAN DOWN, with the single INVASION serving as the soundtrack, amplifying the high-stakes action and eerie visuals of towering alien tripods devastating the city.

Fans on X erupted with excitement, praising the trailer’s intense visuals and Cube’s bold vision, with one user calling it “FRIDAY meets INDEPENDENCE DAY.” The film, a passion project for Cube, blends his signature storytelling with sci-fi spectacle, emphasizing community resilience against otherworldly forces. Co-produced by Universal Pictures, the remake also stars Vivica A. Fox and newcomer Jaden Smith, adding star power to the ensemble. Cube teased the project’s ambition, stating, “This ain’t just a remake; it’s our story, our fight, on a whole new level.” The trailer’s debut has sparked anticipation, with fans eager for Cube to redefine the sci-fi genre as he did with urban classics like BOYZ N THE HOOD.
