Ice-T, who starred in such genre films as Tank Girl, Johnny Mnemonic, and Leprechaun in the Hood, is going full horror with a bit role in the independent Clinton Road. He will star alongside Vincent Pastore and Ace Young, adds Variety.
The story is based on the real-life Clinton Road — a notorious, 10-mile stretch of narrow road deep within the New Jersey pine barren woods, which has served as the source of urban legends about paranormal activities such as ghosts and gatherings of witches. It is also an infamous disposal area for corpses in mob hits. In the movie, the road is investigated by a gang of bold teenagers who discover themselves stranded, scrambling against a sadistic satanic cult.
Ice-T will play the role of a club owner who has had his own experience in the past with Clinton Road and does his best to persuade the group from going there.
