Tommy Lee Jones and Ice Cube to Star in Buddy Drama OUTSIDE MAN
Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, No Country For Old Men) and Ice Cube (Friday, Ride Along) have signed on to star in the upcoming film Outside Man from Oscar-winner Brian Helgeland (A Knight’s Tale, 42), who will write and direct.
The film follows a former Chicago mob enforcer (Cube), who after being released from prison, is a man intent on changing his life. Disappearing into rural Texas, he finds work under a skilled furniture craftsman and retired Texas Ranger Gus Wanamaker (Jones).
As Ruben and Gus form an unlikely friendship, that bond is jeopardized when both men’s pasts threaten to catch up with them.
This marks the second film Jones and Helgeland have worked on together with Jones previously starring in Helgeland’s Finest Kind.
