According to the BBC:

England stars Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole have made a surprise move into film production after getting involved with a new British gangster movie.

Dead Man Running stars rapper 50 Cent and British actor Danny Dyer and has begun filming in London and Manchester.

As executive producers, Ferdinand and Cole have provided some of the finance for director Alex de Rakoff's film.

The plot sees Dyer's character trying to find £100,000 in 24 hours to repay the loan shark played by 50 Cent.

The rapper has already appeared in several films, including the semi-autobiographical Get Rich or Die Tryin' and Righteous Kill.

He also recently took over for a day at BBC Radio 1Xtra where he co-hosted a show and played some of his favourite records.

The 30-year-old, who has set up his own record label, counts 50 Cent among his celebrity friends. Three years ago the American star was even joined by Ferdinand and his team-mate Wayne Rooney on stage at the MEN Arena in Manchester.

Cole, meanwhile, is married to Girls Aloud star and X-Factor judge Cheryl.

I loath Danny Dyer, hate most modern Brittish gangster films and am not at all confidant in 50 Cents acting ability. This won't end well.
 
Did anyone else see Danny Dyer going off on one on Never Mind the Buzzcocks about Orlando Bloom? :lol: Sorry, Danny, but whilst you're reduced to a shite Bravo TV series and making low-budget gangsta films, Mr. Bloom is starring in some of the most popular films of recent years.

To be fair Bloom is very probably the worst actor to ever appear on film. But it is funny to see Dyer get so upset about Bloom's trilogies.

As for the film, it sounds like exactly the type of hackneyed shit i'd expect them to be involved with.

And the geezers will lap it it pwoppa good alwight.

I mean if I was an executive producer looking to the enter the business for the first time and I am handed that script and told Danny Dyer and 50 Cent to 'star' I would rather eat my own face than plow money into it.
