50 Cent discovers a new speed in film after visiting Tyler Perry’s Atlanta studio, discovering a new approach to film and TV production that focuses on efficiency without compromising on quality.
During a visit to Perry’s sprawling studio complex in June, 50 Cent immediately resonated with the accelerated pace, which he contrasted with the traditional methods of old Hollywood.
“We have the rhythm of old Hollywood, the old ‘we’re doing white Hollywood.’ He’s creating a diverse version of Hollywood that has to move faster to make more movies,” 50 Cent told The Hollywood Reporter. “And you don’t have to sacrifice quality. If it’s done correctly, you’ll notice the difference in high-level programming. It’s just better planning. It definitely changed my perspective.
As the man behind G-Unit Film and Television, 50 Cent has firmly established himself as a mogul in the entertainment industry over the past decade.
His impressive resume includes hits such as “BMF,” “Power” and its spinoffs “Ghost,” “Raising Kanan” and “Force.”
Most recently, 50 opened his own studio in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he has ambitious plans to revitalize the city and make it a tourist destination.
“The studio itself lets me create content and make TV shows and movies and stuff like that,” he clarified. “But Shreveport, I had to be able to create an experience for people who came, so I started investing in downtown, buying properties and stuff. I had to reinvigorate that with the studio.
When asked about a potential future collaboration with Perry, Jackson said something could indeed happen.
“He said if I wanted to do something, I was like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ Now we have to figure out what that is,” 50 Cent confirmed.
