Not Really $a million Could Stop 50 Cent's New Movie From Being Re-named

Emcees feuding with one another is certainly not new, but emcees feuding with famous writers? There's the initial for everything, apparently. Rapper/actor/entrepreneur Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson lately went right into a little legal trouble within the title of the approaching movie, 'All Things Fall Apart' (which, surprise, made Moviefone's listing of Approaching Terrible 50 Cent Movies). Within the Mario Van Peebles-directed flick, Jackson plays a university football player identified with cancer (he apparently lost 54 pounds for that role). Issue is, Chinua Achebe, one among Africa's finest authors, authored a magazine of the identical title a lot more than half a century ago. (It's pretty famous you might have heard about it.) Based on Achebe's camping, Jackson allegedly offered a $a million payment to support the title privileges, but was summarily shot lower. "[It] will not be offered for £1bn," Achebe's reps stated. (For reference, $1 billion pounds means almost $1.5 billion U.S. dollars.) The recently named 'All Things Fall Apart' should get to theaters sometime the coming year.
