Most rappers take baby steps in the acting world before they even get recognition and respect, but for some, they are treated as if they were #1 draft pick. Take 50 Cent for example. His first film, 'Get Rich or Die Tryin'' was directed by acclaimed director Jim Sheridan, and his second film, 'Home of the Brave', had him co-starring with Samuel L. Jackson.
For his third role, and one that every actor would kill to be in, 50 Cent will be featured in 'Righteous Kill', which reunites two of the biggest actors of this era, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino star as a pair of veteran New York City police detectives on the trail of a vigilante serial killer in the adrenaline fueled psychological thriller "Righteous Kill", directed by Jon Avnet (Red Corner, Fried Green Tomatoes) and written by Russell Gewirtz (Inside Man). The cast also features hip-hop superstar Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson (Get Rich or Die Tryin'), Brian Dennehy, John Leguizamo, Carla Gugino, Dan Futterman, Donnie Wahlberg, Rob Dyrdek, and Trilby Glover.
After 30 years as partners in the pressure cooker environment of the NYPD, highly decorated Detectives David Fisk and Thomas Cowan should be ready for retirement, but aren't. Before they can hang up their badges, they are called in to investigate the murder of a notorious pimp, which appears to have ties to a case they solved years before.
From IW: I can't wait to see 50 try to act his tiresome ass around DeNiro and Pacino...maybe it's a comedy!
