Rapper/actor Ice Cube is hoping to complete his Friday movie series by convincing funnyman Chris Tucker to return to the franchise for a fourth film.

The former NWA star's trilogy, Friday, Next Friday and Friday After Next, have become cult hits - but he'll only make a fourth film if Rush Hour star Tucker, who starred in the first, returns to play Smokey.

Cube says, "I've been talking to Chris Tucker and he's showing some interest. It's just about having a meeting and making sure that he's really comfortable and wants to be a part of it."
