Free agency has easily become one of the best things about sports. Now, 50 Cent is looking to bring this action to life (and add to it) with a heist film that will be centered in the sports world.

The Hollywood Reporter revealed on Tuesday that 50 Cent has signed on to star in and executive produce the new film, Free Agents. The movie is described as a “high concept sports action heist thriller” and will follow a group of professional football players who come together to steal from the team’s ownership group.

The story will center around a journeyman player trying to get his last shot at the game. In the process, he’s lured into the scheme by some of his teammates. 50 Cent will play a veteran linebacker who is the group’s ring leader. He is responsible for pulling the younger, journeyman player into the heist.

The Lionsgate project will be directed by Deon Taylor, who created the story and also wrote the script alongside Joe Bockol. Taylor will be producing the film with Roxanne Avent Taylor through their Hidden Empire Film Group banner. Aaron Edmonds and Scott O’Brien will oversee the project for Lionsgate.
