50 Cent Lands Development Deal With Fox
Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is making headlines for his producing skills after inking a development deal with Fox. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the rapper and entrepreneur has signed a non-exclusive, broadcast direct deal with Fox. As part of the deal, Jackson and G-Unit will develop scripted series, both live-action and animated, for the network. The broadcaster will own any series greenlit under the deal, and its in-house Fox Entertainment Studios will produce, along with G-Unit Film & Television.
“I am excited to formalize a partnership with Michael Thorn and Fox that will allow G-Unit Film & Television to focus on putting multiple series on Fox, a perfect broadcast destination for G-Unit Film & Television content while our premium, streaming, scripted and non-scripted slates continue to grow in all directions,” Jackson said in a statement.
