Before screening his upcoming film Things Fall Apart at the Uptown Film Festival in Birmingham, MI on March 12, 50 Cent will be on hand for the movie’s world premiere at the Miami International Film Festival.
Things Fall Apart, which was shot in Grand Rapids, MI, stars 50 as “Deon Barnes,” a football player whose dream of making it into the NFL is sidelined by cancer. 50 Cent famously lost over 50 pounds for the role.
“I had to discipline myself not to actually have myself be in the physical state to convey the energy I felt,” 50 Cent told the Associated Press. “It’s a passion project for me.”
The film’s world premiere will be at the Gusman Center in Miami on March 5th.
The 2011 Miami International Film Festival runs from March 4 through 13. Call 305-405-6433 or visit miamifilmfestival.com for tickets.
