The Running Rapper

Curtis Jackson better known as rapper 50 Cent has joined the cast of Alex De Rakoff's indie "Dead Man Running says The Hollywood Reporter.

Set in London, de Rakoff's script centers on an ex-con (Tamer Hassan) trying to make good-he's given 24 hours to raise $150,000 to pay off a loan shark (Jackson) or become a "dead man running."

The mission takes him from the dog tracks of East London to the underground drug scene of rural Manchester as they try every trick and scam in the book to get the cash before it's too late.

De Rakoff is basing his film on a story by John Luton

Shooting began yesterday.
