50 Cent, who only last week openly hoped that Barack Obama's presidency would help cure all the racism in Hollywood(>sigh<), has decided that London is the place for him. He's signed on to play a loan shark in "Dead Man Running", a gangster film from Alex de Rakoff.
Dude, shut the fuck up. Marginally talented rappers with marginal acting ability who've been in Hollywood for five minutes need to stow all the "da man's holding me back" crap. I won't go off on too much of a tangent here because this post was about the movie, but many of the top stars in terms of credibility and salary are African-American. African-Americans have an increased stature behind the camera as well as in front of it. Just because you can't get any roles other than thugs and gangsters doesn't mean Hollywood is conspiring against an entire race. With little to no acting resume whatsoever you've already managed to star next to some of the most legendary names in Hollywood history. So again, shut the fuck up.
