Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, one of the biggest and most popular stars in
hip-hop, is the charismatic driving force behind “Get Rich or Die
Tryin’,” a hard-hitting drama directed by six-time Oscar® nominee Jim
Sheridan about an orphaned street kid who makes his mark in the drug
trade but finally dares to leave the violence behind and become the rap
artist he was meant to be.
In this drama enriched by parallels to 50’s own life, Marcus (Jackson)
has always known he was going to be a rapper, but when his mother is
murdered, he turns to dealing – hustling drugs pays the rent. Only his
grandmother (Viola Davis), girlfriend Charlene (Joy Bryant), and
violent-but-loyal friend Bama (Terrence Howard) keep him grounded as
his world spirals out of control. As Marcus applies the same manic
intensity to his writing as he does to dealing, he finds that writing
down his words helps him to stay sane. For years, he endures this
living hell until a tragedy that nearly kills him forces Marcus to
change his life.
GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN' will be distributed by United International Pictures through the UK & Ireland.
