50 Cent chats to ilikemusic.com


50 Cent: In the beginning when they approached me with it yeah. The comparisons with 8 Mile and Get Rich Or Die Tryin', I'm totally cool with, because 8 Mile was a huge success and I know that 8 Mile's success is what motivated Jim to present the idea of creating this film to me. After the first weeks sales of my record, they approached me with it, and I was like 'allright, let's see what it is'. They had a writer, Terence Winter, come out with me and he spent ten weeks compiling information with me to create the screenplay, and it wasn't until after I'd read the screenplay that I became excited about being part the film.

And then I met Jim Sheridan through Bono from U2 and Jimmy Iovine together. I was briefed on his material… so I realised he was really a great director and Bono was like 'this guy is the guy for you, he's the best, but he's not the kind of person you can get to work based on finances, he has to creatively be in to the actual project or he's not even going to accept it.
