Exclusive: 50 Cent movie “Streets of Blood” goes straight to DVD (w/ new trailer & art)

We have just confirmed with movie studio Anchor Bay that they have bought the outright film distribution rights to 50 Cent’s new movie Streets of Blood. Those in the industry know though that Anchor Bay buys and distributes movies…straight to video. Yes, that’s right. WoooHa can confirm that Streets of Blood is going straight to video and will be available in stores July 28, 2009.

We have been covering Streets of Blood for sometime now. We were the first to break their sales trailer that the producers were pitching to studios months ago. But clearly no theatrical studios were interested. For those 50 fans, you might remember that this is the movie where 50 and co-star Val Kilmer formed a strong friendship…to the point that Val bought 50 a classic car.

Anyways, there you have it. All in all it’s not a good week for 50 Cent news. Earlier this week, sales numbers for his game “Blood on the Sand” were released and they were VERY VERY low and now this news about his movie going straight to DVD. The good news though is that 50 has a bunch of other movie projects coming soon including Twelve and a bunch of other projects in the works. Let’s just hope they hit theaters this time though.

Check the new trailer just cut by Anchor Bay and new DVD art as well. Remember, you saw it here first.

VIDEO: Kris Allen (American Idol) performs Kanye’s “Heartless”

Minus the auto-tune, big production beats and swagger. Yet Kris still kills it with just a good voice and a guitar. No I’m not a stan. I’m not even watching it this year. Via: The Rap Up

Common as B.A. Baracus in A-Team movie almost locked

Common x The A-Team. When word got out that an A-Team movie was in the works back in late 2008, early buzz was that Ice Cube wanted the role of B.A. Baracus since the movie was being directed by John Singleton (who he worked with on Boyz N’ The Hood). My how things have changed. Since then, Singleton has been replaced from the movie by Smokin’ Aces director Joe Carnahan and rumors were running wild that the new director still wanted a rapper/actor to play B.A…but to everyone’s surprise it wasn’t Ice Cube. No. Carnahan wants Common to take on the role.

Common might seem like an odd choice but he and Carnahan really connected while working together on Smokin’ Aces. And since Common’s latest project as The Green Lantern in Justice League: Mortal is still postponed there is a nice empty space for him to jump in the role. Finally after weeks of speculation, Common went public with the rumors surrounding him as B.A. Baracus. In an interview with IESB.net he stated the following:

ESB: Your name keeps popping up, I was at a premiere the other day and was talking to some industry friends and they are like, “[we] would love Common as a certain character in a certain Joe Carnahan movie.‚Äù

Common: (Laughing) Yeah, that would be [something].

IESB: B.A. Baracus

Common: Yeah that would be something cool, but, I mean, let’s see, I can’t speak on it yet until we know what’s going on but that would be an incredible character to play.

IESB: You worked with Carnahan before.

Common: Carnahan is my guy.

IESB: I don’t know if the mohawk is going to work on you. (Laughing)

Common: (laughing) I can’t do the Mohawk but we got to do something, we got to find something to make it work.

IESB: That is something you would like to do?

Common: I would love to, just to work with Joe is so exciting for me I just had such a great experience. I feel that he is one of the freshest directors and innovative guys and fun, he is a quality guy, quality director and man, I just want to work with him.

Word on the street is that an official statement of Common taking on the role should be expected in the coming weeks. You know WoooHa will have the updates. What do you guys think of Common as B.A. Baracus?

Kanye West REALLY REALLY does not use Twitter

Kanye West x Twitter. Someone needs to take the CAPS LOCK away from this guy. Kanye goes on another rant about how he doesn’t use Twitter yet the website still lets all the Ye’ imposters continue faking. He kinda does have a point though. Read for yourself directly from Kayne’s blog….
