Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are producing a London-set gangster movie starring 50 Cent.
The Premiership footballers (and now budding movie moguls) will be executive producers on London gangland movie Dead Man Running.
50 Cent will play a vicious loan shark in the film, which also stars Layer Cake's Tamer Hassan, Brenda Blethyn and Danny Dyer. The movie will focus on an the age old story of an ex-convict trying to go straight. Problems arise when Jackson's loan shark character tells him he has to raise £100,000 or he will become a "dead man running".
The film, which will be directed by Alex de Rakoff, is being financed by a mixture of private investors, including Ferdinand and Cole.
