Friends 50 Cent and Floyd Mayweather have announced their first joint business venture together on an upcoming action film named Tomorrow Today.
This project will combine two companies: 50 Cent’s Cheetah Films, and Mayweather Films. Last year, Cheetah Films made headlines after signing a deal with Lions Gate for 200 million.With the sizable budget, 50 Cent expects this film to surpass all over his previous efforts.
“The first time it was different is because there was no budget,” 50 explained to Hit Fix. “In this actual situation I can use my juice card…I don’t want to disclose the content of the actual film this early…[Hip-Hop’s portrayal in film today] is fair. There’s a portion of the culture that reflects those images they create. It’s not the entire Hip-Hop culture, it’s not everyone’s future. When you talk Hip-Hop artists and film, people don’t generally think Will Smith, or Queen Latifah, Mark Wahlberg [and] LL Cool J. There’s a lot of artists that have made the transition from music into film and have done it in a way that they’ve developed a cache around their brand and the material they’ve created.”
Both Mayweather and 50 declined to give any specific details on the project outside of 50 handling the screenplay and directorial duties. At press time, a tentative release date was not announced.
