Continuing to venture into the movie world, 50 Cent announced to MTV News that he plans on shooting his latest film, The Gun, next month.
Fif, who wrote the script, will also star in the movie alongside Val Kilmer. “It’s about how a weapon goes from manufacturing to its distribution point, to being in a citizen’s custody —and how it ends up in the wrong hands,” he said, describing the plot to mtv.com. “We watch the actual gun travel through a few different people’s hands.”
According to Variety, The Gun will be directed by Jessy Terrero (Soul Plane) and filmed in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It will be the first project under the new partnership between 50’s production company Cheetah Vision and entrepreneur Richard Jackson’s Action Jackson Films. Under the new agreement, 50 plans on releasing three to five movies per year. His next project will be a remake of the horror staple Jekyll and Hyde, which he will appear in with Forrest Whittaker.
As of press time there are no scheduled release dates for either movie. —Elan Mancini

Don’t you have anything to do other than respond to me?.My comments about 50 and being a yayo brought the bitch out in you,didn’t it.I guess if the shoe fits,50 cent dick riders gotta wear it.If my comment is so lame,why would you respond to it?
Why don’t you go bedazzle the G-Unit logo on your bandana and steal some of your little sister’s nail polish remover to polish up that G-Unit spinner neckpiece you bought from Iced Out Gear.com.I know you’re upset about dude fallin off but just because i don’t masterbate on the nigga like you do doesn’t make me a hater.Niggas be countin his money and defending him like they’re fuckin him or somethin.
Que Rollo,lighten up.Don’t take none of this shit personal.You’re actin too sensitive to a comment I made that don’t even mention you by name.If callin you a groupie hurt you,then i apologize.I never seen another dude so passonate about comments made by another man.Just keep in mind that these are opinions not facts.
When you keep addressing me it just shows me that i’ve must have said somethin that was true about you or you would’ve read my shit and moved on.

I’m sorry, but i’ve been reading these comments for so long and I got to say please everybody get off 50 cents dick! seriously like the guy made one hot album back my freshmen year and eversince than he has put out mediocre albums. The massacre average, Curtis average, BISD is average! The way GRODT was orchestrated from the intro to the end was tight (the quarter droppin on the ground, than into what up gangsta). And yeah he makes money but that dont make him great! Im into the music cause it tells me kind of who he is! Not his money what 50 eat dont make me shit So personally I could ive a fuck what he’s worth. He has a couple hot joints every now and than, but the hottest rapper? Hell No. Than on top of that he takes shot at niggas that are out of his league. I understand that hip hop is competition but god damn Im tired of his fake ass beefs. The beefs are a cover up for his lack of originality to market. He’s like watching the news channel that only reports the negative news, yeah its cool for the first 5 minutes but after a while you want to hear something else because it becomes tire some and aggrevating.

lol at these haters. This shit got nothin to do with album sales and all they gotta talk about is his flop. If he flops so what. He aint never bragged about BISD like he did Curtis or any of his other shit. He knew Interscope would bullshit him around.
I mean damn its not like he flopped because nobody checkin for him (Fat Joe, Triple C). Interscope fucked with the release date. It wasnt even in most stores till today so yall that happy to see a nigga fall? Thats why black people wont get nowhere

^^^^^^^^^
He been bragging about it since it got repeatedly pushed back. He went on shows to promote it both TV and Radio shows and did a movie for it. Why would Interscope fuck their own money up? Im sick of niggas actin like Fiddy over there revolutionizing rap. The whole G-Unit got dropped, they was all garbage and they got paid before they left. And as far as Fiddy? He was happy to see other people fail but now him being held to his own words is why black people cant get nowhere??? We behind because we aint supportin Pimpin Curly??? Yea I should take my kids to see “Guns” right? Fuck atta hea

It’s still early,so he got a minute to put out a hot joint from BISD and do respectable numbers afterwhile.I ain’t the biggest 50 fan but he makes solid music,i can bump a majority of his shit,can’t say that about a lot of other rappers.I will say this tho.50 make fun of others niggas album sales,so now that his shit ain’t doing so well he’ll just have to suck it up.The dude set for life tho,so i don’t think he gonna kill himself anytime soon,lol.

@Macdatruest
I totally agree with you.When 50 disses people for no reason and bring up all types of shit,it’s o.k.But now the game is not in his favor and certain people act like we’re suppose to sit back and stay quiet.
He just can’t handle that his style is played and no one is paying him any attention.He tried to come at Wayne and Kanye but failed and even said fuck Jimmy Iovine on a track.And he was always talkin about sales.He’s the one that set himself up.Also why would Jay Z have to get at him when in reality there’s nothing there for him to gain at the end.50 is on a downward spiral.
