Or Alternate headline titled: Dear God, Hollywood Please Stop Hiring The Piece Of Wood Named 50 Cent
Actually it’s not just him. Hollywood won’t stop hiring this thug and Joel Schumacher – who quickly squandered any goodwill he accrued from making “Tigerland” in 2000 after being raped alive by critics and fans for the ‘Batman 3 and 4’ movies – is the latest to do so having just attached 50 Cent to his next movie. Ugh.
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Ellen Barkin and Kiefer Sutherland have all joined the cast of Schumacher’s adaptation of the Nick McDonell novel “Twelve,” which revolves around teenagers and drug use on the upper east side. Sounds kind of like “Gossip Girls,” meets “Kids.” We’ll leave it to you to figure out what obvious role 50 plays in this scenario. [Variety]
Schumacher did Batman 3 & 4, not 4 & 5. 5 was Batman Begins.
Didn’t Jim Sheridan hire 50 Cent?
He’s not exactly a hack…
he did, i like Jim Sheridan a lot, but that move was a mistake.
Either way, i had to sound off on my anger somehow. I’m not given to writing hyperbolic headlines like this much these days, but today i said, fuck it.
I’m just glad u made mention of “Tigerland,” since you’re right in that Schumacher gets so much negative attention the Batman thing, that people forget he actually made a great movie. I still love me some “Lost Boys” too 😉
Also on the Schumacher Tolerability list: “Falling Down.” Ending sucked but the entire premise and first 2/3rds were pretty exemplary.
How the HELL does 50 Cent fit into a cast with Chace Crawford and Rory Culkin? I don’t get it.
Drug dealer? Pimp?
