50 Cents British Movie “Dead Man Running” to Get U.S. Release

50 Cent x Dead Man Running. Just when we thought the U.S. film market would be spared from this British Indie film, the newly formed Phase 4 Films has acquired North American rights to the action thriller starring 50 Cent. To date, the film has grossed less than one million U.S. dollars. Although no exact date is set yet, Phase 4 plans to release the film this year.

” ‘Dead Man Running’ is a heart-pounding, fast-paced adrenaline rush with 50 Cent, who once again proves how multitalented he is, adept in crossing over from music to movies,” Phase 4 president and CEO Berry Meyerowitz said.

When the movie does hit theaters here in the U.S. don’t expect a huge release though. This will most likely only be shown in top major cities and for a limited run.
