Chris Brown Set To Go Bone Deep
Oo-er missus, relax - it's a heist pic!

R&B star Chris Brown is stepping up his campaign to show that he’s more than just a singer – he’s in final negotiations to not only join the cast of heist thriller Bone Deep, but executive produce as well.
Brown is set to line up alongside Matt Dillon, our very own Idris Elba, and the rapper, T.I., in the thriller, which sees a group of criminals plan a heist at a money depot, only for two detectives to end up right on their trail.
Brown will play one of the thieves – we’re not sure yet if that makes him a good guy or bad guy.
John Lussenhop will direct the film, which will be Brown’s fourth film with Screen Gems (which perhaps explains the executive producer credit). Although best known for his silky-voiced music, Brown has starred in Stomp The Yard and This Christmas, with sports drama Phenom also on his slate.

| RE: Umm... | If Chris Brown was who i think he was on The O.C then that was some god awful acting. He'd better not bring down Stringer Bell's good name More

Yes he might not be a good actor, although in stomp the yard he didn't really need to be-my God he's a damn good dancer, but give him and R&B/rap stars a break. He might just surprise you!

I know he's a comedian/actor/singer/classically trained pianst/anoying talented bastard but he did have a very unsuccessfull album out before he made it as a comedian and subsequent actor etc More

Posted by CameronJames at 14:35 on 11 July 2008 | Report This Post | | | | | Really bad news | This item has just started a really heated debate in our office ( breaks and lunches only) regarding the fact that we can only figure out a few Rappers/r&B singers which have been able to transverse the gap between singing and movies. We came up WIth JJ cool J ( dubious) and Ice Cube(even though he has made more bad movies than good). you got any others that were good? More
