Rapper T.I. revealed recently to MTV.com that he has signed to a three-picture deal with Screen Gems, which has released such movies as “This Christmas” and “Stomp the Yard.”
“I have a few films that I am in the process of working on, as a producer as well as an actor,” said T.I. “Some with Screen Gems, some with New Line, as well as a documentary in the form of a television series with MTV.“
“I’m just looking forward to continuing my success in the film
industry,” he continued. “I want to do all kinds of movies. I want
to do romantic comedies, action movies, dramas — tons of different
things.“
The first of the movies with Screen Gems will begin with “Bone Deep,” co-starring Matt Dillon and Idris Elba. Described by T.I. as a “young, Hip Hop ‘Heat'”, the rapper says he’s in talks with Chris Brown to join the movie as a young robber.
“Bone Deep” is about a group of thieves who rob a high-rise, and are talked into doing one last job. The fild will be directed by John Luessenhop and was written by Gabriel Casseus, Avery Duff and Peter Allen.
