Fred Durst, Ice Cube Seek to Provide Positive Role Models for Young Women
What is Fred Durst up to right now? It’s a question I frequently ask myself, and, what with me plastering his face all over Idolator, one you might be pondering as well. A new album? A new sex tape? A new cred-hungry t-shirt purchase? A new… feel-good sports movie starring Ice Cube and Keke “Akeelah & The Bee” Palmer? The Chocolate Starfish recently finished location shooting on Comeback, the story of the first female quarterback to play in a Pop Warner football tournament. Ice Cube, Durst’s former Family Values tourmate, will produce the film and play her coach. Durst’s TriBeca Film Festival award-winning directorial debut, The Education Of Charlie Banks, set at Vassar(!), may see release this spring. Did we misjudge Fred? Has his public idiocy just been an act?
Fred would sure like us to think so. Check out the mind-blowing career narrative in this interview promoting Banks. Turns out he always wanted to be “a Hal Ashby, a Woody Allen, a Stanley Kubrick” (at 1:59, I shit you not), but then “the band started taking off,” and well… what can you do when fame comes calling for your rap-rock band?
A film by Fred Durst, yo. A film by Fred Durst.
