Oscar-winning US music legend Quincy Jones will compose his first film score in more than 20 years for a new rapper movie entitled "Get Rich or Die Tryin," the industry press said.

Famed producer and composer Jones, who won his Academy Award for the best original score for 1985's "The Color Purple" has signed on to compose the music for Paramount Picture movie starring rapper "50 Cent," whose real name is Curtis Jackson.

The movie, to be directed by Irish director Jim Sheridan, the maker of 2002's Oscar-nominated immigration movie "In America," tells the story of a street orphan who descends into the drug trade before making it as a rapper.

Jones, 72, has won seven Oscar nominations for some of the 33 film scores he had written, including those of classics such as 1967's "In the Heat of the Night," 1967's "In Cold Blood," 1969's "The Italian Job," and 1978's "The Wiz."

I heard this this morning. Has he gone senile in his old age?

Quicny needs to stay away from ANY hip-hop related project.I remember buying his last album 'Q's Jook Joint' in 1995 and being really,really disappointed.Every other song featured numerous guest rappers.They totally ruined the old Brothers Johnson hit "Stomp".Why can't he act his age,and work on a compelling jazz-type project? He has this weird obsession with hip-hop,which is odd for a person his age.

Ugh, I'm glad I didn't hear that one, I love 'Stomp'. Where are The Brothers Johnson now anyway?

How old is Q now anyway? 70? 71? Yah umm, the perfect person to score a Hip Hop movie

He doesn't want to act his age. He wants to be young and he thinks hanging around with a bunch of no-talent nobodies makes him hip. It is really kind of sad that he going to go out like this.

I cant believe Fiddy really is going into acting, i thought it was just a rumour

QJ needs to speak to MJ

MJ speak to QJ

Actor Samuel Jackson refused to co-star in this film.If Quincy was wise,he would not have gotten involved in this project either.

Why? The people associated with this film are grade A (Terrence Howard, The "America" director...Even if you don't like his music (It's a bit tiresome now), he has some great people on the project, including the writer from The Saprano's...I think people should just wait to see the flick...

Yeah, and then 50 Cent retaliated and listed a few rapper/actors who had worked with Samuel L Jackson before - but all of them had a few credible performances under their belt, so he was talking bollocks.

... and then.. guess again
