VIDEO: 50 Cent does Sundance Q&A for recently sold movie “Twelve”


50 Cent x Twelve. Yea so what if 50′s latest movie Twelve only sold for $2 million at Sundance this year. Even though it had a well-known cast including Chace Crawford and Emma Roberts (love that Hermione Granger), what’s more important is that 50 is taking efforts to shape his acting skills and taking on smaller projects to hone his craft. He just can’t play himself in EVERY movie now can he? Nah Pimpin’ Curly doesn’t count.

Here’s the full Q&A after the screening of Twelve with the entire cast lined up like they are in an episode of “Law & Order: SVU.” 50 should be easy to spot right away in the lineup here…he’s the one wearing pants. 50 gets big cheers from the crowd when he answers his first question 6:55 minutes into the video. I suggest you jump right to it.

Swizz Beatz says movie he’s working on will be bigger than “Avatar”

In this recent interview with MTV, Swizz Beatz clearly states that the movie he currently is doing the film score for is going to be bigger than Avatar. Ironic how he says this the same week that Avatar bypasses Titanic as the highest box office grossing film in the U.S. in HISTORY. That means EVER…completing the triple crown of box office with highest grossing film in the world, internationally and domestically.

Swizz Beatz I really doubt the movie you are working on is going to be bigger than Avatar unless what you are working on is Avatar 2, Titanic 2: The Return of Jack or a reality film that shows the resurrection of Tupac, Biggie and the dude from Milli Vanilli.
