50 Cent’s New Movie ‘Twelve’ Hits Sundance & Sold For $2 Million
Everything he touches turns to gold
Now a days 50 Cent is just as busy on camera as he is in the studio. With a slew of different film projects in the works including Gun with Val Kilmer and a Jekyll and Hyde redux starring alongside Forest Whitaker currently in pre-production according to imdb.com, fif can breathe a little easier as his film, Twelve, the new Joel Schumacher movie was recently bought at the Sundance Film Festival for a cool $2 million.
According to the New York Times, Hannover House, an independent publisher and media company copped the film after it premiered at Sundance.
The film is based on the 2002 novel in which 50 is typecast as a Harlem drug-dealer named Lionel and perhaps a reason as 50 points out that he’s still a long way from sex symbol status. He recently admitted while shooting the film on the Upper East Side of Manhattan he was shocked that fellow co-star and Gossip Girl actor, Chace Crawford got more attention from the ladies.
“I made a fool of myself the first day of shooting,” the rapper told the New York Daily News at the flick’s Sundance premiere. “I got to my trailer and I saw this huge crowd of girls screaming. I stopped and was kind of having a moment. Then I turned around, and Chace was behind me, and that’s who they were freaking out for.”
“I remember thinking, ‘What kind of bull—– is this?’”
Something tells me 50 gave up praying on the ladies a long time ago in favor of his first love…MONEY.
