De Niro and 50 Cent - together at last!

Here's a test for you. Take a pen, get a piece of paper and write down - right now - the top three movie star partnerships you'd like to see. Any combination you like - it can be DiCaprio/Cage, Jackman/Pitt, or Natalie Portman and Lucy Liu (steady now), for example.

Done that? Good. Now, did anyone write down 'Robert De Niro and 50 Cent'? Nope. Didn't think so. But it hasn't stopped Hollywood types from MAKING IT HAPPEN!

Yes, indeed. The man who said 'Are you talkin' to me?' is going to team up with the man who said, and we quote, 'I'm into having sex, I ain't into making love/So come give me a hug if you into to getting rubbed'.

Beautiful. This is clearly a match made in heaven. The film that's bringing these two titans together is entitled New Orleans, a cop thriller set in... well, you can work it out.
