50 Cent Will Replace Forest Whitaker In, “The Expendables” (Update 50 Is Out)
The anger of the casting of 50 Cent is understandable, but not fair. A player is only as good as his coach. If a man can communicate in one medium, he can communicate in another if his strengths are brought out and he has the support of well-wishers. So, trust me, the change of Forest Whitaker to 50 Cent AKA Curtis Jackson is a good one.
- Sylvester Stallone via Ain’t It Cool
“The Expendables,” is written and will be directed by Sylvester Stallone and is about a team of mercenaries that head to South America on a mission to overthrow a dictator. The movie features Jet Li, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke and now 50 Cent. 50 Cent will have big shoes to fill but this is a big step in his acting career.
Update:
I received a call, informing me that rapper, 50 CENT aka Curtis Jackson, had stepped into the role. Then Sly sent me an email regarding that casting, that I updated the story with. Well… today, I get woke up with a very enthusiastic call from Stallone, who has recast the role of Hale Caesar for a final (hopefully) time. So… who is Hale Caesar? First off – he’s 6′2 & a half” and BIG. He’s a former San Diego Charger.

FOR THE SLOW PEOPLE: I updated the post to let you know 50 Cent has been taken out the movie.

March 19th, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Congratz to 50 he’s doing his thing and he’s a good businessman. But let’s face it they didn’t cast 50 for his “acting ability”, but the man is a big name and he’s one of those artists that whether you like him or not you know who he is. Hollywood is all about for those who can bring them cash and 50 is a fucking cash cow.

March 19th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
naw that a good look maybe the reason why they want him is they saw one of the pimpin curly episodes……
March 19th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
15…thats casue diddy just started trying to act…. fifty has gone straight to acting cause he knows his music career is winning down and he can’t make money off of it (like he use to)….its not hard for rappers to start snagging roles in movies (look at LL Cool J) they attract that extra demographic to the movie theater (like all you 50 stans are going to go see it just cause he’s in it) its not cause he’s a good actor hollywood is just using him
March 19th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
When was the last blockbuster movie Sylvester Stallone had?…Whitaker had better things to do…his schedule was to damn busy for this crap!!!
March 19th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
The hollywood insiders are angry that 50 is in this flop of a movie because they know…nobody is gone to spend money to go see it now that Whitaker is no longer in it! The movie won’t generate the audience it truly wants!
March 19th, 2009 at 6:37 pm
Has 50 been in any movie that has made money?
March 19th, 2009 at 8:04 pm
What a downfall, from Whitaker to 50? Damn, i was looking foward to this movie too.
But then again I was really looking forward to Righteous Kill and that turned out god awful.
March 19th, 2009 at 8:08 pm
Fif is more in shape to be a mercenary than Forest Whitker
March 20th, 2009 at 12:01 am
it sounds like a case of the white man, sly stone tryin to cash in on the 50 machine, but he might be too late. i was really impressed when i saw 50 alongside dinero and pacino for righteous kill, then all of a sudden they pulled 50 scenes from the commercial. then i bootlegged it and it was sooooo wack, not just 50 but the movie as a whole was wack. sly stone tryin to cash in quick fast
March 21st, 2009 at 4:20 pm

Hiphop is dead and movies are being held at gun point SMH
You can’t be serious when an academy nominated actor who went to college and studied his craft gets replaced by somebody who didn’t finish high school… That’s like Cleveland replacing lebron with some local junior highschool superstar
50cent is an good actor thou.. his whole career is an act
