T.I. Lands Three-Picture Movie Deal

Rapper T.I. recently inked a three-picture deal with Screen Games with two roles already locked in.

According to a Variety.com, the first movie, as a part of the deal, with be the crime drama "Bone Deep" in which the rapper will join Matt Dillon and Idris Elba.

The deal shows that the company has confidence in a long-term investment in T.I., despite a yearlong prison term for weapons possession that begins next spring.

The second Screen Gems film is set to be "Boulevard," a drama in development in which T.I. will star, while the third picture is still undetermined.

T.I. is currently serving 1,000 hours of community service in which he speaks to the youth at schools, so the film work will be scheduled around those legal obligations.

So far, T.I.'s acting resume includes roles in "American Gangster" and "ATL."
