Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
It looks like 50 Cent is following in Eminem’s footsteps in more ways than one.
50 will make his feature film debut in the semi-autobiographical “Locked and Loaded,” Billboard reports. The rapper will play a former drug dealer who gives up a life of crime to pursue a career in music.
Em’s manager Paul Rosenberg and Geffen A&M chief Jimmy Iovine are producing the movie, as they did for Em’s “8 Mile.” “The Sopranos” writer/exec producer Terence Winter is writing the movie, which is expected to hit theaters in 2005 or 2006.
