50 Cent's new film to screen in 10 cities

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 29 (UPI) --

Rapper 50 Cent says his feature film directorial debut, "Before I Self Destruct," will be screened in 10 U.S. cities next month.

Fans can download tickets for the screenings at MovieTickets.com, Interscope Records said Thursday.

"Inspired by 50 Cent's latest album of the same title, 'Before I Self Destruct' is a gritty 90-minute film, written, directed and starring Curtis Jackson -- a.k.a. 50 Cent," the record label said. "The film is a coming-of-age story about an inner-city youth raised by a hardworking single mother. When his dream of becoming a basketball player fails to materialize after his mother is tragically gunned down, Clarence, played by Jackson, is consumed by revenge and takes up a life of crime in order to support his younger brother."

The album and film will be released as a set by Shady/Aftermath Nov. 23.
