Before Freelancers, the upcoming 50 Cent movie, moved from Grand Rapids to New Orleans, the film’s producer, Randall Emmett, told Grand Rapids’ WSNX that the movie would feature “two big movie stars” along with 50 Cent.
Well, it turns out Emmett is a man of his word (or at least 1/2 his word, so far). Today it was announced that Robert De Niro has signed on to star in the movie as well.
Feelancers is set to shoot for four weeks in New Orleans beginning April 18. The film will be directed by Jessy Terrero who also directed 50 Cent in last year’s Gun. The movie is about the son of a slain NYPD officer who follows in his father’s footsteps and joins the force – where he falls in with a group of rogue cops.
Glorioso Casting is handling extras casting for the film. If you’re interested in applying for a position, you can fill out this online form.
