US rapper 50 Cent is set to swap his microphone for a football as he once again makes the move on to the big screen.
Curtis Jackson - otherwise known as 50 Cent - is about to start a world tour, with filming for his latest flick set to begin on his return to the US in May.
According to Variety, Things Fall Apart is going to be a serious drama, with Jackson taking the lead role of a star football player in his final year of college who's hit by a personal tragedy.
Jackson's not just taking the acting credit for this movie, he co-wrote the script and is set to be involved as a producer.
No doubt fans of the performer will be happy and can probably pick up some new 50 Cent Tshirts on his forthcoming tour to show their support of the rapper-turned-actor.
In an interview with the magazine he explained the appeal of movie making: "You have 90 minutes and 120 pages, compared with three minutes for a song," he stated.
Since bursting on to the music scene back in 2003 with his Get Rich or Die Tryin' album, he's come a long way.
With an ever-increasing list of film credits to his name, it seems he's well on his way to making the transition from rapper to movie star.
