Ice Cube and Three Kings director David O Russel are in talks with New Line to create a new movie franchise.

According to deadline.com, the west coast emcee/actor will play a plainclothes detective who isn’t afraid to pull the trigger, in what has been described as “thematically a throwback to those 70s revenge films like the Harry Callahan movies that starred Clint Eastwood.”

Russel will produce the film with Cube and his Cube Vision partner Matt Alvarez.
