After being cast in The Crow: Lazarus, rapper DMX has lined up yet another film role. DMX is slated to star in a remake of the 1931 German crime thriller, M.
The film will re-team DMX with Warner Bros. and producer Joel Silver, with whom the rapper collaborated with on Exit Wounds and Romeo Must Die. M, which will likely begin shooting this fall, is the first of a multi-picture deal that Warner Bros. signed with DMX.
The original M was directed by Fritz Lang and starred Peter Lorre in the story of a child murderer who despite terrorizing Berlin, manages to evade police. The citywide search by the force makes it nearly impossible for organized crime to operate, so the mobsters decide to help police catch the killer.
In the new film, DMX will play a crime boss who helps the police catch the murderer. Warner Bros. and Silver are reportedly trying to enlist Vin Diesel (Boiler Room, The Fast and the Furious) in another lead role opposite DMX.
