Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will star as a college senior football player in a film called “Things Fall Apart” (certainly no relation to the famed novel of the same name by author Chinua Achebe or The Roots record). The film will be produced through his Cheetah Vision Films company with producer Randall Emmett, Variety reports. Shooting will begin in May with director Mario Van Peebles and a script by Jackson and Brian Miller.
Yes, 50. Cent acts (“Get Rich or Die Tryin’ ,” “Righteous Kill”), but as a college senior? Really? The rapper also recently co-starred with Val Kilmer and wrote a feature called “The Gun” last year which has yet to see a release. Some serious acting chops will be necessary to effectively convey the “personal tragedy” and issues regarding “his own mortality” in the film.
“Fifty is in the process of losing 65 pounds,” Emmett told Variety. At least he seems dedicated to the role.
He just shot a film where he plays a college football player. I was an extra in it. Drank 40's with his stunt double.
I think an entire demographic could be fooled into seeing this movie if they had a ambiguous poster and opened it in small theaters around the country.
