In an interesting casting decision, it seems that Robert De Niro is getting together with Rapper "50 Cent" to do a police thriller set in New Orleans.
"The film centers on a cop who thinks his partner has died in Hurricane Katrina, only to discover that he was shot to death. When he gets a new partner, the pair investigates the murder, taking them on a journey into a world of police corruption."
The film, which was originally set in Los Angeles, will be directed by 
Tim Hunter ("River's Edge"). Now it will be set in New Orleans after the 
Katrina disaster. Filming is scheduled for February.
De Niro hasn't been in theaters since "Hide and Seek." His next film, which he also directed, is "The Good Shepherd."
