Cedric the Entertainer is in talks with New Line Cinema and Rat Entertainment to star as an amnesiac janitor in the action comedy "Traces".
The project, based on a Robert Adetuyi script that the studio acquired in 2001, centers on a software custodian who wakes up after a car accident and suffers from memory loss. What's locked inside his head could actually save his life as he races to identify himself and the people who are after him.
The project marks the first time Cedric has worked with New Line. The actor-comedian has been particularly busy of late with roles in such upcoming comedies as "Barbershop 2" and "Johnson Family Vacation". He also appears in the Coen brothers comedy "Intolerable Cruelty", which is in release.
