Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson To Star In Crime Drama "Freelancers"?

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is reportedly set to star in a new crime drama, "Freelancers".

According to Variety, Jackson will play the son of a murdered New York City police officer who joins the force himself in the vice crime task force and ends up on a team of "rogue Gotham cops."

The film will be directed by Jessy Terrero ("Soul Plane") who worked with the rapper previously on his MTV Video Music Award-nominated "Candy Shop." Filming is said to begin on March 28 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Jackson, 35, will also be producing the film and recently started his own production company, Cheetah Vision Films, which has a $200 million 10-picture deal with Lionsgate. Jackson said of his growth to MTV, "With each individual project, I work with someone that makes sure I'm completely prepared for it." "I feel like I'm growing. When the projects get bigger and better the public will start to shift and treat me like anyone else's progress."

What do you think of 50 Cent as an actor?
