50 Cent Premiers New Film 'Caught In The Crossfire'. Starts Production On 'Things Fall Apart'

 
Rapper/Writer/Director/Actor/Businessman 50 Cent debuted the premier of his new film 'Caught In The Crossfire' for an excited audience in Grand Rapids, Michigan this week.

The locals not only got a chance to meet Fif, but they were also thrilled to see locations they recognized in the movie, since it was shot entirely in Grand Rapids.

50 has fallen in love with the city. He and his company Cheetah Films have already shot three movies there including 'Caught In The Crossfire' and 'Gun'. The latter stars Val Kilmer. The plan is to shoot two more before the year is out.

On filming in the small town of Grand Rapids 50 had this to say:


"Well it was untouched, I hadn't seen a lot of the scenery before. It was an opportunity for me to do it first."

This month production of 'Things Fall Apart' started. It's 50's most demanding role to date physically as he had to shed more than 50 pounds to accurately portray the role of a college football player suffering from cancer.

The film, written by 50 Cent and Brian Miller is being directed by Mario Van Peebles.
