Ellie said: 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.
----- The whole idea that anyone cares what 50 cent's has to say about a movie role is bizarre. This guy can't barely form a complete sentence. Who the fuck wants to see his ugly mug in a film. | |

DavidEye said: murph said: 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... Samuel Jackson backed out of the project because he didn't like the idea of working with rappers.He would rather do films with real actors who have experience and are serious about their craft.50 Cent is just another popular rapper who has now decided that he is a movie star.This movie is all about ego. Yeah..I know Sam's made that comment a million times...But as much as I like Sam, he's a bit of an hypocrite (Ice Cube anyone?) Also, if you read up on this 50 Cent movie, the people involved are very serious talents...When you get an Oscar nominated director, the best young actor under 36 in the biz (terrence Howard) and the writing team for the Sapranos, and one of the great compsers of this century (Q), that's not the typical hip-hop movie..And I guess Purple Rain was all about Ego as well, huh?...I'm not a huge 50 Cent fan, but can people wait to see the movie first or do a little research on who's involved before they make any comments? We get it...you don't like hip-hop espically the likes of 50 Cent...But that doesn't mean people should make uninformed comments...People on this site freak out when the general public do it with our boy Prince...We should wait and see how this shit will turn out... | |

As others have said, Quincy likes to think he's in the know about every aspect of the biz and he tries to keep up with the young'uns, but the fact remains that the man makes great music. And the film - I want to dismiss it entirely, but I cannot. I saw the trailer this past weekend, and it didn't look terrible. That's the best I can say about any trailer, because they're often misleading. Jim Sheridan is a great director, who's made some really good films - In America, In the Name of the Father and My Left Foot. I don't know what would make him want to do this film, but there are a lot of people condemning it before they've seen it, much less before it's even been released! I'd rather not see 50 Cent in a movie, and I can choose not to if that's the way I see fit. But I must admit, I'm very curious about this project. This is the best example of an informed person making a comment..Bravo..People take note.... | |

Ice Cube was very good in Boyz N The Hood and Three Kings. The bad probably outweighs the good, but he was good enough. I don't think 2Pac was that established at the time Samuel L Jackson was in Juice though. | |

I'm sure many comments (I know mine was) and initial reaction to the name 50 Cent being involved in the movie. The 1st thing I thought was, "Damn, why couldn't they get a real actor?" Plus it's just an easy joke and an excuse to say HELL to the NAW.
