...producing a movie?!

http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/20112008/5/prem...nt-movie-0.html

Rio Ferdinand and Ashley Cole are producing a London-set gangster movie starring 50 Cent.
The Premiership footballers (and now budding movie moguls) will be executive producers on London gangland movie Dead Man Running.

50 Cent will play a vicious loan shark in the film, which also stars Layer Cake's Tamer Hassan, Brenda Blethyn and Danny Dyer. The movie will focus on an the age old story of an ex-convict trying to go straight. Problems arise when Jackson's loan shark character tells him he has to raise £100,000 or he will become a "dead man running".
The film, which will be directed by Alex de Rakoff, is being financed by a mixture of private investors, including Ferdinand and Cole.

Why footballers feel the need to be involved in anything remotely money orientated or anything in the public eye confuses me.

Autobiographies at 21 years of age
One-Off TV Shows
Now Film Producing

IMO real professional footballers wouldn't do such a thing, but we seem to be living in a world where everybody wants to be seen or be in the papers so I suppose its normal for a footballer to be producing movies.

What Rio should've said was...''Gary Neville was captain until his injury, so I then led United to a Premier League title and a Champions League.''

With regards to this movie codswollap, it's annoying. Both are world class defenders, get involved in that shit after retiring.

Seriously, Frank Lampard is an absolute legend of the game. He needs to be recognised in some way eg. Frank Lampard OBE, Sir Frank Lampard or some kind of lifetime achievement award.

Greatest ownage machine: Scholes. Absolute animal when he was a regular poster, I always knew I was in the right when he was backing me up, and I couldn't wait to read a topic that he was posting in because I knew he'd be tearing someone apart

Point taken Paul as regards United's double in winning the
P.L. and becoming European champions.

I don't just laugh at Rio, lots of things amuse me and half
the time its what I say and do, put my foot in it more times
than one :whistle:

they have a lot of money... whats wrong with them investing it any way they feel like it...

i think the problem here is you all think being a movie producer requires skill... all it requires is money
