Just days after hinting that he was done with Power over
a Golden Globes snub, rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent has signed on to appear in
the upcoming Gerard Butler film Den
Of Thieves, according to Deadline.
Fiddy will play a bank robber in the movie,
which follows the story of a heist on a Federal Reserve Bank in Los Angeles and
the subsequent investigation. Butler himself will play a crooked cop, as well
as produce the movie. Christian Gudegast, who began his career as a rap music
video director, is slated to direct the film.
According to Deadline, Den Of
Thieves will begin filming next month in Atlanta, Georgia. The
movie is scheduled for release in 2018, and no other actors have been confirmed
as of yet.
It’s definitely the kind of boost that would
be beneficial to 50’s acting career, especially if he’s serious about being
done with his Power TV
show like he wrote in a recent IG tirade when the Golden Globes nominations snubbed the series.
“I’m on the move again, Golden globe’s can
suck a dick. I accept my series POWER was not intended to be a signature show
for the network but it is the highest rated show … I’m done promoting this out
side of contractual obligations. SEASON 4 KANAN MUST DIE, I got other shit to
do,” he wrote.
