50 Cent Set To Star In Dead Man Running

50Cent50 has landed another acting gig. We get wind of Curtis Jackson’s upcoming film Dead Man Running thanks to the gangster caves of Yahoo:

American rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson plays a ruthless loan shark in the London gangland movie “Dead Man Running,” which began shooting Wednesday.

The mission takes him from the dog tracks of East London to the underground drug scene of rural Manchester as they try every trick and scam in the book to get the cash before it’s too late.

50 Cent shouldn’t be acting. The man is not particularly good at it, and should probably use his time to pump out club jams (at which he excels). If he must act however, hooligan roles are probably his best bet. The man has been shot 9 times and understands what living like a gangster is all about. If 9 bullets doesn’t get you a gangster education – I don’t know what will.

Most Hip Hop gangsters are fabricated characters much like Mickey Mouse or Vanna White. 50 Cent has always appeared to me to be the real McCoy and seems to be an exception to the rule. I have no doubt that this man would cut me in half with a sword if push came to shove

In summary, 50 shouldn’t act because his skills are better served on the mic – but he can do what he wants because he could (and still might) slay me with a sword.

  1. Get rich was a hit…box office, money, how ever you look at it. Home of the brave never was released…but still is on cable! Both movies were produced fucked up. What 50 need is better people around him….That will tell him the shower scene in Get rich is a bad ideal…and better video ideals! etc. Obviously he has the talent.

  2. lool obi-wan kubrick..your comment killed it.

    But yeah i dont give a fuck for 50, i jus wanna see if the film is gonna be any good. EAST LONDON stand up!!!

    Yeah for all you niggaz across the water, there are some differences between areas of london…. Am representin East straight up!

    Peace

  3. I can’t figure out if he goes looking for roles, or if studios come looking for him. He’s neither a good nor bankable actor, yet somebody in Hollywood is convinced he needs to be in movies.

    Of course, how can one turn down a guy who marches into the audition with a sword?
