Hip-Hop star 50 Cent will star in an upcoming movie titled Dead Man Running.
In an interview with the BBC, British actor Danny Dyer divulged details of the movie, which is described as a gangster flick.
“It’s about one guy who basically gets in a serious bit of trouble with a real gangster and he’s got one day to live or he’s going to get ironed out if he doesn’t raise the funds,” Dyer said. “So, it’s basically about a dead man running, which is him, and I play his sidekick who’s trying to get him out of trouble.”
Also attached to Dead Man Running is Tamer Hassan, who has starred alongside Dyer in movies like Football Factory (2004) and The Business (2005).
The role is the latest for 50 Cent, who has a high profile role in the movie Righteous Kill, which stars legendary actors Robert DiNero and Al Pacino.
Dyer said that he was thrilled to be working with 50 Cent.
“I don't know about him as an actor. He's definitely a presence We come from totally different backgrounds but he's a great artist.”
In more current 50 Cent news, the rapper is preparing to release Before I Self-Destruct, which will be accompanied by an album of the same title.
The album is due in stores December 9, while there is no release date for the movie, which 50 Cent wrote, produced and stars in.
