Rapper David Banner is set to star in The Comeback, a film produced by Ice Cube’s Cube Vision film company.

Banner, who has previously starred in Black Snake Moan and This Christmas, has reportedly been taking acting classes to sharpen his acting chops. That’s a good thing. It’s always good to see rappers taking acting seriously and not just taking it lightly.

The Comeback also stars Keke Palmer and will be directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst and is the true story of Jasmine Plummer who, at the age of eleven, became the first female to play in Pop Warner football tournament in its 56-year history. The release date is set for July 25, 2008.
