50 Cent Sells 'Twelve' Film At Sundance For $2 Million
By Kadeem Lundy ♦ Published 02/02/2010

50 CentThe independently produced film Twelve, which stars 50 Cent in a leading role, was recently bought at The Sundance Film Festival for a reported $2 million.

Hannover House, a independent publisher and media company, purchased the rights to the film, which is directed by Joel Schumacher, and based on the novel of the same name.

In the film, 50 portrays a young Harlem drug dealer named Lionel, who supplies drugs to "Gossip Girls" stars Chace Crawford to sell to his rich upper class friends.

In an interview with the New York Daily News, Fif' said he was shocked that Crawford received more attention from female fans than he did on set.

"I made a fool of myself the first day of shooting," the rapper told the paper. "I got to my trailer and I saw this huge crowd of girls screaming. I stopped and was kind of having a moment. Then I turned around, and Chace was behind me, and that's who they were freaking out for."

In addition to Twelve, 50 is also working on several other film projects. He is currently filming the movie Gun, alongside Val Kilmer, as well as a Jekyll and Hyde remake, featuring Academy Award winning actor Forest Whitaker, which is in pre-production, according to IMDB.com.

    50 didn't sell anything, but he still got paid for starring in it.the other cat is stupid cuz 50 wants the game's album to sell,cuz he still gets a cut of it.so 50 still owns the game.and game pays 50 so he doesn't have to put the g-unt label on his album. it true

    @JERRY; Damn so in 2010 it is bad to diversify and make money acting when your rap sales are down? So I guess Jerry does not believe in diversification? You know what Jerry have a great life...
