50 Cent to Star with Robert DeNiro in Katrina Thriller

Robert De Niro and 50 Cent are in final negotiations to co-star in “New Orleans,” a police thriller set against the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina.

The indie film formerly titled “Microwave Park” centers on a cop (De Niro) who thinks his partner was killed by the storm, only to discover that he was shot to death. When he gets a new partner (50 Cent), the pair investigate the murder, taking them on a journey into a world of police corruption.

I was almost certain 50 Cent was going to play the shooter.
