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.

“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.

Through a mixture of original interviews and archival footage and photographs, a startlingly complex, fully-rounded human being emerges. The film ranges from Tyson’s earliest memories of growing up on the mean streets of Brooklyn through his entry into the world of boxing, to his rollercoaster ride in the funhouse of worldwide fame and fortunes won and lost. It is the story of a legendary and uniquely controversial international athletic icon, a figure conjuring radical questions of race and class. In its depiction of a man rising from the most debased circumstances to unlimited heights, destroyed by his own hubris, “Tyson” emerges as a modern day version of classic Greek tragedy.

I want to check the documentary out, Mike Tyson’s life is crazy story.

Might give it a look even though its 2 hours and 43 minutes long. Comment below if you seen it already and want to discuss the movie. (I can’t prevent spoilers)

Might have to check this one out.

How in the hell these suppose to compete with those machines.
