50 Cent gets in movies because he pays his way through it. He ends up being a back end producer, and fronts a lot of the expenses to make any movie he wants. He's worth over 900 million so he can afford it, that's for sure.
there have been over 5 movies (written by 50 Cent) that went right to DVD. one of them was Gun, another was "before I self destruct", another was his first role "get rich or die tryin" - I'd have to look at IMDB for the other ones...but basically, it's his money, he fronts it all, writes the script, the script then gets 100 re-writes, and he's the leading man, and the film goes right to DVD. he never sees a dime of profit, mostly loss...but he likes to do all of that just to feel that sense of worth as an actor. It's hugely pathetic...the weird thing, is that in some movies, he's actually "not that bad". When he gets shot, or has a crying scene, or a screaming/emotional scene...he's not bad, but direct dialogue is his problem.
anyway, just proves that if you have enough money, you can do whatever you want.
