Rapper 50 Cent will make his acting debut, when he turns his attention to the silver screen for his “semi-autobiographical” drama, “Locked and Loaded.”
The rapper will play a former drug dealer, who leaves the seedy underworld behind for a career in music.
Terence Winter, who has gained critical acclaim as writer and executive producer of HBO’s “The Sopranos” will write the screenplay.
Interscope founder Jimmy Iovine and Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg will serve as producers.
Iovine and Rosenberg also served as producers for Eminem’s smash movie, “8 Mile,” which grossed almost $120 million at the box office.
According to reports, the flick is part of a first-look feature film deal between MTV Films and Paramount.
In May of 2003, the rapper announced that he had signed a book deal with MTV Books/Pocketbooks, to create his autobiography.
The film is slated for a late 2005 or early 2006 release date.

You wanna know how his acting is going to be? Watch the P.I.M.P. video. He is like the black Sylvester Stallone minus the semi-decent acting skills.

1 - what does Ja Rule have to do with this
2 - Ja isnt that good of an actor
1 - but it was produced by the same camp... Paul Rosenberg shit you know
2 - of course he's not.. but rappers seem to have a chance as actors even though they suck. If Ja can appear in a lot of movies, I dont see how 50 doesnt have the skill to do a movie in which he practically doesnt have to act since he's playing himself more or less.

i think rappers should stop acting the only good rappers that became good actors were pac and mos

I wonder if they will film the part where he betrays Domination and Bang Em Smurf.......

8 Mile was terrible. It was a complete and utter rip-off of Purple Rain.
