According to Page Six, 50 Cent is seriously considering making a Power feature film. Power is the Starz prestige drama that details the life of NYC drug kingpin/nightclub owner James “Ghost” St. Patrick. Fifty is the executive producer of the series, which will air it’s fourth season this summer.
In the Page Six report, actor Rotimi Akinosho who plays Dre, says Fifty is serious about doing a film:
Yes, we are working on it. There is a strong possibility that it is happening. Fifty talks about it all the time.
Rotimi says a large portion of the film would be a flashback to all the characters when they were young.
An origin story is a great idea and there are a number of ways the film could go. Focusing on how Ghost and Tommy started as lookouts ascended to the top of the network, framed Kanan and connected with Lobos. No doubt the Ghost and Angela love story from their youth would also be a fan favorite; and the psychological impact at the moment when she left and he got deeper in the game.
Right now it’s only talk but stay tuned for more as this story develops.
