Robert De Niro, Al Pacino – Teaming Up With 50 Cent For Movie?
“Rapper” 50 Cent apparently is no longer content with just ruining hip hop, he seems to have set his sights on ruining potentially amazing movies as well.
Billboard.com reports: Rapper Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is in final negotiations to join Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in “Righteous Kill,” a crime thriller that starts shooting in September.
The acting veterans play detectives tracking a serial killer, while Jackson would play a drug dealer who helps them with their investigation. Jon Avnet will direct the $60 million project.
Jackson has previously starred in “Get Rich or Die Tryin,’” a 2005 movie based on his drug-dealing past. He most recently appeared in last year’s “Home of the Brave” and has three other films in the works: “The Ski Mask Way,” “Live Bet” and “The Dance.”
De Niro and Pacino will be onscreen together for nearly the entire film. The longtime friends shared no screen time in 1974’s “The Godfather: Part II” and only one scene in 1995’s “Heat.”

In the day we see two legendary screen actors with eachother once again, it turns out not to be worth an ordeal
like the plot hasn’t already been done a million times before though?
doubt it will be the next The Departed, with or without 50 cent
