50 Cent and Mel Gibson to Star in New Crime-Thriller 'Boneyard'

50 Cent and Mel Gibson are set to star in a new crime-thriller, Boneyard.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the indie film has already begun shooting in Las Vegas, and is inspired by true events. The movie "tells of an FBI special agent, played by Gibson, who along with the Albuquerque police department, is hunting for a serial killer nicknamed The Bone Collector. The chief of police and one of his officers, however, have a contrary view of the manhunt, believing someone in their own department may be the killer," the publication reports.

This is 50's latest film venture. Earlier this year it was reported he'd inked a non-exclusive multi-project broadcast direct deal with Fox Entertainment. Under the deal, 50 will “develop scripted dramas, live-action comedies and animated series that would air on FOX. Any series created under the deal will be owned by FOX Entertainment and produced by its in-house unit, FOX Entertainment Studios, in collaboration with G-Unit Film & Television."

50 said the new deal allows for the growth of his TV/film ventures. “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.”
