Ice Cube, through his Cube Vision, is to team up with Walt Disney Co. for the sports-themed comedy "De-Fense," reports The Hollywood Reporter.
Written by Ice Cube with no director on board, but the project -- on the fast track -- marks the first time Ice Cube has teamed with Disney on a feature film.
Rewritten by Tiger Williams ("Menace II Society"), the project is described as "The Bad News Bears" set in the world of football. It's about a suspended NFL player sentenced by the league to return to his hometown of Los Angeles to coach a high school football team. While dealing with the teens and the sport, he finds the love of the game within himself.
