Only A Hack Like Joel Schumacher Would Hire 50 Cent

Or Alternate headline titled: Dear God, Hollywood Please Stop Hiring The Piece Of Wood Named 50 Cent

Actually it’s not just him. Hollywood won’t stop hiring this thug and Joel Schumacher – who quickly squandered any goodwill he accrued from making “Tigerland” in 2000 after being raped alive by critics and fans for the ‘Batman 3 and 4’ movies – is the latest to do so having just attached 50 Cent to his next movie. Ugh.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts, Rory Culkin, Ellen Barkin and Kiefer Sutherland have all joined the cast of Schumacher’s adaptation of the Nick McDonell novel “Twelve,” which revolves around teenagers and drug use on the upper east side. Sounds kind of like “Gossip Girls,” meets “Kids.” We’ll leave it to you to figure out what obvious role 50 plays in this scenario. [Variety]
