Remember when 50 Cent dropped an excessive amount of weight for a movie role? Well, the unofficial trailer for that very film, Things Fall Apart, directed by and starring Mario Van Peebles, as well as Lynn Whitfield and Ray Liotta, has been released after it’s premiere this weekend at the Miami International Film Festival.

In the movie, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson plays University of Michigan football player Deon Barnes, an NFL hopeful whose career plans are deferred by a cancer diagnosis. What most don’t know is that 50 not only stars in the film, but he wrote the script, financed the film himself, and is releasing it via his production company, Cheetah Vision Films.
