Ice Cube May Increase 'Torque' For Kahn

Ice Cube is in negotiations to star in Warner Bros. Pictures' "Torque" for director Joseph Kahn, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

"Torque" is described as a fast-paced adventure set in the world of motorcycle racing. Cube will star as Trey Wallace, the leader of the Machine, one of the most powerful and feared biker gangs in the country.

Last week, Jay Hernandez came aboard to star as a biker, as did Matt Schulze, who will play a vicious rider in a biker gang known as the Hellions.

J.P. Donahue and Kevin Polay rewrote "Torque."

The project begins shooting next month in Los Angeles.
