50 Cent cast in urban “Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde” movie

50 Cent x Jekyll & Hyde. So what if 50′s movie Streets of Blood is going straight to DVD. As long as the roles keep coming so do the paychecks. 50 has just been confirmed to star alongside Forest Whitaker in a re-imagining of the classic Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde tale. Whitaker will play Jekyll with 50 playing Hyde.

This is one of the first announced pictures that will be produced under 50 Cent’s production company Cheetah Vision. The film will have its own financing partners and then ideally will be sold to a studio for marketing and distribution. If no studio picks it up….well then it’s Streets of Blood all over again.

Does this movie sound interesting to any of our faithful WoooHa readers out there? Or is it straight to DVD again for 50 Cent?

Irv Gotti to produce “Entourage” music industry HBO show

Irv Gotti x HBO. Even though Irv’s Murder, Inc. days are well behind him you have to give credit for his hustle. Not only did he lock in a second season of “Gotti’s Way” on VH-1 (trailer), but now he is in talks with HBO to produce an “Entourage” style TV series but with focus on the music business instead of film. The show is tentatively called “160 Varick” which is the origianal Def Jam building.

Irv told XXL Mag that he even has super-agent Ari Emanuel pitching the script and locking in the deal. If that’s true then that is major. Ari owns Hollywood. This is what Irv had to say about the TV deal:

I got a show with HBO brewing and it’s called 160 Varick. That’s where I started at, that’s the address to the old Def Jam. Now the show is like Entourage but it’s based on the music side. That should tip you off. I’ve already met with the presidents of HBO but I just don’t like talking about it because it may never see the light of day if it’s not great the way I want it to be. My agent is Ari, the real Ari, Ari Emannuel. The guy that Jeremy Piven plays on the show, in real life, that’s my agent. So I’m in the process of finding the best writers to write the sexiest, wittiest, funniest shit that’ll make a great HBO series.

This sounds like it could actually be a great show. There have only been a few that really explore the music industry and how corrupt interesting it really all is. Props to NahRight for the heads up.
