Ice Cube has signed on to play the title role in a film adaptation of
the classic 1970s TV series Welcome Back, Kotter, it was announced
Tuesday.

"There was no bigger fan of the original show than me, and I'm very
excited to be able to put a new twist on it," the Barbershop star tells
Variety.

Cube will play the titular Gabe Kotter, a slacker turned teacher who
returns to his inner-city alma mater and who sees himself in the new
batch of underprivileged troublemakers. He works to inspire the
seemingly apathetic students, known as the Sweathogs.

"We were skeptical about selling Kotter because making a great movie
from a TV show can be challenging," Kaplan said in a statement. "After
meeting with the Weinsteins ,
we knew they were the right ones to bring this project to the screen."

The Hot Chick's Tom Brady has signed on to write and direct Kotter.
