50 Cent to either get rich or die trying in Den Of Thieves

Fresh from telling the Golden Globes to suck a dick after being snubbed for his work on the Starz series Power, rapper-actor Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson has snagged a role in an upcoming crime thriller called Den Of Thieves. Directed and co-written by Christian Gudegast (whose screenplay credits include London Has Fallen), the project will star Gerard Butler, who also serves as one of the film’s producers. It’s set to start shooting in Atlanta on January 9. The plot, according to Deadline, concerns “an elite unit of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department and the state’s most successful bank robbery crew as they plan a seemingly impossible heist on the Federal Reserve Bank of downtown Los Angeles.” Sounds like fun. Jackson is slated to play a member of the gang.
