Jim Sherdian & 50 mill
There are people who don't have to worry about social security drying up as the baby boomers are retiring, such as the Bush family or gangsters turned rap "bling bling" superstars. You just need to offer a little ole fashioned repentance, a few lessons in rapping, hire a "powerballin" producer and you'll be "bling bling" set. Take for example, rap star 50 Cent, in the next few months he'll be appearing in animated form on an episode of The Simpsons, launching new designs of his footwear line, starting his own series of bling-heavy watches, endorsing Formula 50 Vitamin Water and preparing to star in a movie about himself called 'Locked and Loaded'.
'Locked and Loaded will be directed by Irish filmmaker, Jim Sheridan (My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father, In America). Terrence Winter, executive producer of the Sopranos, is writing the screenplay. So 50 is only 26 years old, it seems a bit odd they are already making a film about him. I suppose we should expect a lifetime of sequels. All kidding aside, making a film about a gangster rapper using the hard core writing of a Sopranos guy and the sensitivity of Jim Sheridan...seems like a brilliant way to promote yourself to the masses. I'm looking forward to seeing the likes of Jim Sheridan and the golden touch of 50 Cent. Well, hats off to ya 50 Cent...better yet...50 mill.
