Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson will start shooting Lives of the Saints, directed by Chris Rossi from his own script, next month alongside Meg Ryan and John Lithgow.
50 Cent is expanding his acting resume and he is pretty busy as actor lately.
Since making his big screen debut in 2005’s Get Rich or Die Tryin, 50 had a role in the football drama Things Fall Apart, and recently starred in a film based on his own screenplay, The Gun.
He also stared in Twelve, in which he plays a drug dealer and Caught in the Crossfire.
The rapper also had a role in 2008’s Righteous Kill opposite Robert De Niro and Al Pacino.
Now, he has a new chance to star alongside Hollywood veterans in Lives of the Saints.
The drama “tells the intertwining stories of a group of Angelenos seeking redemption for past mistakes, only to find that forgiveness comes from unlikely places.”
Joe Anderson, Kat Dennings, Kevin Zegars, Anthony Anderson and Esai Morales will also star in the movie.
Lives of the Saints is set to begin lensing November 13, 2010 in Los Angeles.
