The movie roles keep coming in for 50 Cent. Variety reports that the G-Unit impresario is in negotiations to star in the upcoming drama Spectacular Regret. Unlike 50‘s previous acting efforts, Spectacular Regret is said to be an independently financed drama. Variety describes 50‘s role as “a death row inmate whose imminent execution has made him a cause celebre. The drama interconnects with four Angelenos struggling to overcome past events.”
The film was written by Joshua Leonard, whose previous credits include work on The Blair Witch Project. Should 50 secure the role, it would mark his fourth such appearance. So far, 50 Cent is credited with roles in his own biopic, Get Rich or Die Tryin’, as well as Home of the Brave and the upcoming Righteous Kill.
