Whuh? Jim Sheridan of "In America" Fame To Direct New 50 Cent Movie.

It's been a puzzling time of late with certain directors picking or being rumoured to be working on such random films (John Woo - He-Man, Steven Spielberg - Transformer) and now continuing this trend is Jim Sheridan. It appears that the director of "My Left Foot" and "In America" (which was such a great film) will be at the helm of "Locked and Loaded" starring 50 Cent in which an orphaned former drug dealer stops pushing (for you whities - that means selling drugs) and focuses on a career in rapping. Emimen and Dr. Dre will be producing the film with a host of others, persumably because they want people who actually know how to produce a "movie" - though Dre is one of rap musics best producers. Want to read the whole article, check it out here but I have but one question for Jim Sheridan - is it the challenge or the money? I have my suspicions.
