50 Cent's film resume continues to expand as the rapper will be starring in an upcoming film titled The Gun which he wrote.
According to Variety, the film focuses on two friends (played by 50 and Val Kilmer) whose loyalties are tested when they become involved in illegal gun dealing.
50 revealed that he came up with the script while thinking about how guns land in the hands of wrong people.
"It's a socially conscious theme that people aren't paying attention to," explained 50.
The Gun will begin filming next month. Jesse Terro will be serving as director.
The Gun is one of three films that 50 Cent has written and he plans to bring them to the big screen via his Cheetah Vision imprint.
"When you write a song, you need to say it in three minutes or it is overkill, but I like creating stories and going in depth with characters," he said.
50's Cheetah Vision will also be producing a remake of Jekyll and Hyde which will star the G-Unit rapper and Forest Whitaker.
