I wonder if 50 cent will diss Samuel Jackson now?
I agree with him to a certain extent.
"SAMUEL L JACKSON has turned down the chance to work with one of his movie icons - because it's in a film starring 50 CENT.
The actor has always wanted to work with Irish movie-maker JIM SHERIDAN and was thrilled when he heard he was being targeted for a new film by the IN AMERICA director - and then he realised the role was opposite rapper 50 Cent in his movie debut.
The actor has been extremely vocal about sharing the stage with unproven actors, and felt he had to turn down Sheridan's offer.
He says, "Hollywood people tend to think that because one is successful in one aspect of entertainment they can bring them into this particular world and make a success out of them.
"They ask people like me to be in a film with those people that they are kind of headlining and your name ends up behind them.
"If you do that, it sanctions the fact that these people come into this world and you think they are worthy of you sharing your time on screen with them. I don't particularly think that.
"A month or so ago, someone called me about the 50 Cent movie and I'm like, 'What are you calling me for?' I don't even need to read that because that's not something I want to do.
"I like listening to 50 Cent and I can groove to his music but I don't want to groove to him on screen, just yet. Maybe if he does five movies and he shows some talent.
"I mean how does he get to work with Jim Sheridan and I don't. What is it about 50 Cent that makes Jim Sheridan say, 'I'd really like to make a movie with him.'"
-
50 Cent seems like he would be a terrible actor. Of course I don''t have too much proof. We gotta wait n see.
I don't blame Sam Jackson either.
-
its obvious Samuel L Jackson is in a position where he can pick and choose what roles he does and doesnt want, for whatever reason...i dont blame him either...
-
he has a point, i would prolly do the same if i was jackson, dont blaime him.
-
why would a well respected actor want to taint his credibility? why did 50 get work with jim sheridan? jimmy iovine. aka the puppet master.
-
Im not surprised at Samuel's whole opinion on this situation.Its understandable,tho there is nothing wrong in working with someone who's never played in a movie before.
-
jakson is a trained, proven, credible actor in the indrustry. i can see why he doesn't wanna work with 50
but i have no respect for actors. any one can act
-
I can see why he doesn't want to work with 50 cent..cause 50's a rapper..and have you seen the bad movies made by ja rule and dmx lol? and eminem's movie wasn't that good either. ;D
But if this was about a REAL first time actor and not 50 cent, i bet Samuel would take the job. cause a first time actor has to start somewhere.
-
but i have no respect for actors. any one can act
I hope you're joking
That's like saying anyone can rap. I'd like to see Nas or Jay Z try to play Gregory Peck's role as Atticus Finch in "To Kill a Mockingbird". You think Eminem could've played Michael Corleone? Or Lil Jon play MacBeth?
-
I really agree with Samuel Jackson, since 50 will never become a real actor. The biggest Q to me is... Why the hell does Jim Sheridan want to work with 50?
-
wow im surprised everyone wasnt like "fuck samuel l jackson, he's a hater". anywho, he had a good point, allthough he did do a movie with Busta a few years back.
I know 50 is big right now but I dont know why people would want him in a movie. you can barley understand what he's saying on his songs.
-
but i have no respect for actors. any one can act
lmao....no not anyone can act....can you honestly watch turn it up or fast and the furious and say ja rule is a good actor? or how about that old guy in saw? what a horrible actor...and usually that guy is good in other movies. arnold schwarzaneggar? horrible actor...only a success because he has a lot of muscle and acts in movies with a lot of explosions. snoop dogg. nuff said.....you can't say "anyone can act" when there are crappy actors like those out there.
-
Very few musicians can actually act...
I'd probably do the same thing if i was in sam jacksons position.
50 does seem like he'd be a horrible actor.
-
Can't really blame Jackson.
-
I cosign with the rest of yall. I don't blame Samuel Jackson at all.
-
I cosign with the rest of yall. I don't blame Samuel Jackson at all.
Nuff said, I agree with y'all.
-
Samuel L. Jackson didn't want 50 taking his cake thats all.
-
Samuel L. Jackson is my favourite actor, or 2nd, he's up there, Im so glad he didn't take that role. Don't blame him what so ever, 50's a queer

how should a black play the role of Atticus Finch ::) ...but anyways, lol @ everybody can act and lol @ imagining Em as Michael Corleone
-
Samuel Jackson probably looking at Snoop and thinking 'hell no', heh.
-
50 Cent seems like he would be a terrible actor

Samuel is a great actor im glad he denied a movie with fifty rappers just arent ment to act....i mean lets be serious eminem pretty much played himself in 8mile n people hailed him a acting god... i didnt see anything too special about Em in that movie xcept tahat it stared eminem to get all the white boys hooked. id rather watch a fat woman tryin to limbo then 50cent tryin to act

Okay fine, let's see Nas or Jayz play Det. Virgil Tibbs, or Homer Smith.
-

Yep. I don't see 50 as being able to act..

Sam got the fakest smile on there lol. Like "Get yo fuckin hands off me nigga" smile. He just didnt say shit because he wants to live another day.

Imagine Sam saying those quotes in his " pulp fiction " voice ....

Sam is tripping!!!!!
He Doesnt Say Shit About People Like Brittany Spears, Wonder Why?????
-
because Brittany Spears >>> 50 Cent, lol
-
Sam is tripping!!!!!

Has he ever done a movie with Brittany where he was ask to be a supporting character while she was the star? It's not like they asked him if 50 can play a part in the Sam Jackson movie. They wanted Sam Jackson to play a part in the new 50 Cent movie. I wouldn't want to tarnish my acting name by appearing in a rappers movie if I were Sam Jackson. He is getting to the point where he's on the verge of being a credible name in acting, like Morgan Freeman, or Tom Hanks. He isn't quite seen at that level yet, and doing a movie with rappers isn't going to help.
-
^Pretty well said
-
who the hell is able to act? you think Cube for instance is a good actor? some people seem to think some people just can act, and some cant. actually, acting also takes learning and shit. of course talent is needed too. I tell you what. no rapper can act good. noone. the rappers who come decent in their movies come decent because they play themselves more or less. but try to cast a rapper for playing a retard, a homosexual or something, and see what happens.
-
after hearing 50 mumble thru his two 'acting' lines in the middle of the P.I.M.P. video, i can't see why anybody would want to witness him struggle thru an entire movie
-
why would a well respected actor want to taint his credibility? why did 50 get work with jim sheridan? jimmy iovine. aka the puppet master.
I guess he wasn't this cocky when nobody gave a shit about him and he was a drug addict. But yeah, I agree with him to a certain extent, but I don't like his I-am-too-important-to-make-a-movie-with-you. There are rappers that actually act nice. What is he afraid of, a rapper stealing his potential roles?
-
let rappers do their direct-to-dvd movies about the misadventures of childhood friends at neighborhood bar-b-q's and if they prove themselves, give them a show on WB, and if it runs 3 seasons without getting cancelled, Welcome to Hollywood!!!
-
Or Lil Jon play MacBeth?
id like to see that. macbeth was crazy. lil jon acts crazy
-
Remember Ice Cube had a line about him cuz he said he doesn't like rappers being in movies so cube said something like "Tell Samuel L i'ma keep accin"
I wonder why he let Ashanti be in Coach Carter...like she's some established actress
-
I dont blame him, but without even giving him a chance....i bet Sam L needed someone to like..give him a change to blow.
-
Exactly B BLAZE!!!!!!!
-
The difference between Britney & 50 is, that she is hot as hell. That's enough for ok acting. 50 however, like every rapper, is not hot as hell.
-
I wonder why he let Ashanti be in Coach Carter...like she's some established actress
Good point bro...
but easily put, she's got a P...y.
and is no threat to take any of Samual's roles.
I could be wrong...
Hatesrats 2oo0V
-
Lol, 50 cent acting, hes the sort of guy that would make it obvious that he forgot his line or somethin
-
mm is samuel Jackson not on a movie with ashanti(her debut movie.... I think he just didnt wanted to work with 50 cuz of this....
- I mean how does he get to work with Jim Sheridan and I don't. What is it about 50 Cent that makes Jim Sheridan say, 'I'd really like to make a movie with him -
and I think his cinda right.... but hey its all about the money a movie where 50 is on will probably sell like whoa! 50 is just damn good in promoting or hyping or whateva yall wanna call it.....
-
50 cent is fuckng too grimey to be Hollywood...and maybe Samuel was too grimey for the role that was given to him...and Im down With Samuel
