50 cent spoke with the hollywood reporter at the recent los angeles press day for freelancers, where the natural showman offered unexpectedly understated charm. in addition to talking about the origins of his new film, he discussed what lessons he takes away from the film roles he chooses and reflected on the challenges of tackling material that might seem uncharacteristic or even contradictory to the larger - than - life persona he’s created through his albums .
freelancers is a bad movie for a number of reasons, but 50 cent' s character is atrocious. although the film hints that malo got into the police academy by bedding the wife of a judicial official, malo leaves training ready to enforce the law. it takes all of 6 hours before malo has fully committed to a corrupt path lined with drug use, prostitutes and murder. there' s also some repressed memories that freelancers conveniently allows malo to resurrect late in the game. these are important in pinpointing where allegiances lie, but the film piles the revelations on a shaky foundation of cop - movie clichés .

there' s really not much else to say about freelancers. it' s a bad movie. it' s not offensively bad, at least, and it should play fine for those looking for a saturday afternoon time - killer. but when you bring two decorated actors like forest whitaker and robert de niro onto a project, you kinda have to expect something a little deeper than freelancers provides .

freelancers boasts a whopping thirty credited producers according to the internet movie database, and one of those fine filmmakers even produced righteous kill, the crappy geriatric cop drama with robert de niro and al pacino. despite the ridiculous number of helpers on this project, freelancers is about as generic a cop drama as you can get. de niro shows up here, too, as do curtis
50 cent
jackson and forest whitaker, and between the weak action sequences and impossibly - cliché story of de niro' s corrupt police captain vs. 50 cent' s rookie legacy cop, freelancers is bargain - bin junk .
for at være helt ærlig, så syndes jeg det er en lorte film. der er ikke så meget andet, jeg vil sige .
freelancers was a miss for me. i didn' t like the movie and i was extremely disappointed to see mr. de niro associate himself with such a bad film. the main character, that being the rapper 50 cent, was dull and unimpressive. i didn' t care what happened. i just wanted it over with. the movie is another dirty cop film that brings nothing new to the table and is forgetful. i won' t be seeing this again .

freelancers has some great actors, but really falls flat due to a poor script and terrible characters. how they got robert de niro and forest whitaker to sign on for this project is beyond me. whitaker actually gives a pretty good performance considering the material he had to work with. the film tries so hard to be training day, but it just reminds us how unique that movie really was. freelancers is without a doubt the worse movie i' ve seen this year and it' s not worth writing anything more about it. i give it 3 out 10 thanks to forest whitaker, but 50 cent should really stick to rapping .

the apparent star of this improbable film, curtis 50 cents jackson, mumbles his way through his lines, making me desperately wish for subtitles. how he landed this role is a question, because acting is not something he knows how to do at all. so they stuff the cast with gems like deniro and whitaker, trying to trick us into believing there is actually a film here... but there is not. it starts off promising enough but half - way through we find out what happened to 50 cent' s father in the film, and so this one detail has the whole film fall apart and it is all downhill after that. it is interesting to see diniro and whitaker and a cast of
bad
cops, there could have been a great little dark film here. but the story has so many holes and 50 cents is such a terrible actor is just begs the question as to why this film was made. in recent years diniro has made some really bad films, and this should be cause for worry. is diniro becoming like jack nicholson who is no longer capable of making a film anyone would ever want to watch? if so, why? what has happened? i have no idea who curtis 50 cents jackson is, but he is not an actor; he is nearly unwatchable in this flat, dull film .

so, it’s not just that netflix is luring film - makers with its seductive combination of deep pockets and a free rein – it’s that, if netflix wasn’t stepping in, these films wouldn’t get made at all. in february, it was announced that martin scorsese’s next film, the irishman, would be distributed by netflix. the film was set up at paramount, which released scorsese’s previous four, but the hollywood studio reportedly got cold feet when the director’s latest, silence, bombed, grossing just $ 7m against a $ 40m budget .
freelancers is a miscast misfire. 50 cent is terrible, the story is completely stale, and forest whitaker and robert de niro are wasted in tiresome supporting roles. rent this one only if you have a free rental at your local video store. otherwise, watch training day again .

a new federation report aimed at transforming political and public understanding of the importance and value of the creative freelance workforce will be launched this month. members are invited to an event to discuss the study which draws on evidence submitted by more than 700 freelancers from across the uk as well as the organisations that employ them. it will be used to better inform government of the working practices of the uk’s freelance workforce and to ensure their needs are considered in all areas of policymaking. freelancers account for just under half of creative workers in our sector but their contribution to its growth and success has been long misunderstood. this report demonstrates what freelancers do and how they do it. it gives a clearer picture of their working practices and will offer practical recommendations on how they could be better supported. date: monday july 17 time: 9am registration for 9. 30am to 10. 30am venue: national theatre, london
not every section of the film industry has been as receptive. in particular, the cannes film festival is insisting that, as of next year, all palme d’or contenders must be released in french cinemas. since french law mandates a 36 - month window between theatrical release and streaming date, this effectively bars netflix from the competition. at the cannes press screening of okja, a much lower - profile netflix film starring tilda swinton and jake gyllenhaal, part of the audience booed neflix’s logo before the screening had to be stopped due to projection problems. pedro almodóvar is on the side of the festival. will smith – who stars in bright, another netflix film due in december – has spoken out in support of the young upstart. expect other industry figures to begin taking sides soon .

still, there are some unavoidable parallels between army generals and film directors. “i can never claim to be in a position where i’m having to make decisions with life and death consequences, ” says michôd. “but i do need to be able to wrangle a gigantic machine. ” there is one key difference, though, between waging wars and making movies. while the us military that war machine depicts seems incapable of changing course once set, the film industry has become anxiously reactive to changing viewer habits. these attempts to keep box - office receipts profitable by second - guessing audience tastes have caused problems for film - makers .

exclusive: robert de niro is set to star in the jessy terrero - directed freelancers, and forest whitaker is in talks to join him and curtis jackson in the cop drama. the film begins production april 18 in new orleans. jackson plays the son of a slain nypd officer who, with his two best friends, joins the police academy. after graduating, he’s taken under the wing of his father’s former partner captain vic sarcone (de niro) in the ranks of sarcone’s street vice crime task force and he becomes part of scarcone’s rogue task force. philippe casseus wrote the script .
netflix’s new feature film is a big deal in many ways. called war machine, it combines the star power of brad pitt and the indie credibility of david michôd, the director of animal kingdom. it boasts big themes: the absurdity of war and the ambition of men. based on the operators, a book about controversial us army general stanley mcchrystal, the film takes place on a big scale, across afghanistan and along the corridors of power in dc. an investment in the range of $ 60m also makes it netflix’s biggest - budget feature to date. most of all, though, war machine is big on expectation: this is the film that could change the industry for ever .
the opening scenes of freelancers are the most interesting. had the film been about the three rookies' beat work with their volatile superiors, it might have been an interesting character study. one cop lets minority suspects off the hook to keep them out of the system, while another starts a tense, racially motivated standoff to satisfy his own ego. malo shows sparks of good character at this point, diffusing the conflict and sending everyone home alive. malo also flirts with longtime crush cyn (anabelle acosta), but is content to trade her affections for those of for - hire women and narcotics .
the story, about a team of corrupt cops, is hardly anything earth - shattering or refreshing, either. the film brings absolutely nothing new to the table, playing more like a low - rent direct - to - video mma production that just happened to nab a few decent actors who needed a fast buck. none of the characters are fleshed out in a realistic manner, and the new york setting obviously looks like new orleans (where the film was shot) .

in his new film freelancers, 50 cent says he isn’t sure whether his character - - a corrupt cop searching for his father’s killer - - is a good guy or bad guy. but the artist’s multifaceted success seems similarly schizophrenic: after making a fortune as a street hustler - turned - gangsta rapper, he created a business empire selling vitamin water and sneakers and launched a philanthropic initiative to help underprivileged kids. and his future acting roles include a turn as a criminal computer expert in the tomb and a kind - hearted football player with a terminal illness in the self - financed all things fall apart .
the whole thing might work if malo and his two best friends - - also delinquents - turned - cops - - had a trace of morality about them. instead, they are entirely irredeemable. they might have taken an oath to protect and serve, but they are little more than gangsters with badges, an especially reprehensible form of criminality that

50 cent: you’re a little more conscious of your actions. i mean, you only need one decision; you can make a decision without thinking one time, and the rest of your life will reflect that decision, so you’ve got to be conscious of what you’re actually doing out there. for me, to see even the drug usage at different points in the actual film, it’s all so familiar - - something that’s been around the environment that i grew up in. so there was a lot of different parts of this actual film that i saw and was bugging off of it .

a talent release form is used anytime you have talent in front of a camera, especially if you are looking to distribute a film. in some journalistic situations, simply having your talent say “i give _ _ _ _ permission to air this interview” is enough, but in the case of narrative films or large productions, a physical form is vital. if you plan on getting your film distributed, a distributor will always ask for copies of your talent release forms. if you don’t have them, you will have to go back and get all of your actors and extras to sign a copy after the fact. for this reason, it’s best to get your actors to sign the talent release form before you begin shooting .

new york police captain sarcone (robert deniro, who' s frankly been on auto - pilot for what seems to be a decade now) seeks to train malo (50 cent)' the son of his deceased partner in his corrupt secret cabal of corrupt cop ways. he' s partnered up with the equally corrupt larue (forest whitaker, who was much better as kavanaugh, a sanctimonious foil to vic mackey in the shield) in fact 50 cent' s character in this kind of reminded me of julien a tad from that aforementioned series. not that the film is anywhere close to that glorious series, if anything quite the opposite this film sucks. just that it made miss the shield and wish it were still on the air .
unfortunately, freelancers is just one big mistake after another. every single scene is off pace, dragging on and on. otherwise solid performers seem to be phoning it in, picking up a quick paycheck and a few free meals in between takes. there' s a shoehorned love subplot that never feels real, and an age - old vengeance angle that never resonates on an emotional level. and 50 cent can barely spit his dialogue out. he also offers absolutely no conviction whatsoever. instead, he swaps between lifeless grins and an expressionless stare. his performance is downright embarrassing .

earlier this year, it was our pleasure to announce a new partnership with bafta in supporting the filmmakers market. on saturday 13th july, bafta 195 piccadilly hosted a day of masterclasses, screenings and advice sessions, along with opportunities to network with fellow filmmakers. an optimistic atmosphere amongst the crowd demonstrated the shared passion for the craft, and projected an auspicious image for the future of the uk film industry .
war machine will be given a limited, oscar - qualifying theatrical release in the us and uk, but the big premiere will take place this week on the laptops and in the living rooms of netflix’s 100m - strong subscriber base. the film’s commercial success will be measured not by its box - office takings, but by new subscriber numbers. as attack plans go, it’s more stealth dominance than shock and awe .
money can’t buy you happiness, but apparently it can buy top talent for your crappy movies. rapper - turned - entrepreneur 50 cent extended his empire into film production with his company cheetah vision films, and besides the cast listings, the results are less than promising. the flops offer nothing to audiences, but leave big names like bruce willis – who starred in the thriller, setup – laughing all the way to the bank .
you might assume that any film with pitt attached would be bankable under any circumstance, but michôd suggests that his central performance as general glen mcmahon (a fictionalised take on mcchrystal) is of a larger - than - life kind that’s now considered too big for the big screen. “we had conversations about where to pitch the character and knew quite quickly that there was no point in brad trying to keep a leash on it. for us, it was about letting the movie be mental. ”
to serve, protect and steal. not a great movie! the plot is really weak from start to finish, the story has lots of holes and it feels really made up on the spot. i will be honest and the only reason i watched this film was because robert de niro starred in it. usually his films are great along with great acting but his appearance in this did not help the movie any. the film tries so hard to be training day, but it just reminds us how unique that movie really was. watch at own risk! the son of a slain nypd officer joins the force, where he falls in with his father' s former partner and a team of rogue cops. his new boss, sarcone, will see if he has what it takes to be rogue through many trials and tribulations of loyalty, trust and respect. when the truth about his father' s death is revealed revenge takes him over and he won' t stop until justice has been truly served .

the 5. 1 dts - hd master audio track is quite appetizing at times, with balanced, engaging surrounds and heavy bass punctuating the film' s soundtrack. dialogue, unfortunately, is a bit more problematic. mic hiss is noticeable throughout, especially on de niro, who seems to be scratching at his mic in a few scenes. while the hiss is not really the fault of the mix itself, it' s still distracting enough to shave off a few points from the track' s final score .

jackson is straightforward and not especially interesting. the disc also includes a number of deleted scenes (18: 35 / hd); a behind the scenes with interviews (14: 30 / hd) featurette that serves as a making - of; extended interviews with cast and crew (33: 20 / hd), with participation by terrero, 50 cent, de niro and others; and the film' s theatrical trailer (2: 32 / hd) .
“i went to film school right in the middle of that explosion of indie cinema that came out of the 90s, ” says michôd. “for a long period, there was a whole bunch of guys – paul thomas anderson, david o russell, wes anderson, spike jonze – who were getting to make movies with budgets inside the studio system, but movies that were so idiosyncratic. when animal kingdom was released [ in 2010 ], it got me a whole load of attention, but those opportunities didn’t seem to exist any more. ”
sydney - born michôd is the movie journalist turned film - maker who is charged with delivering it. michôd brought the delightfully dishevelled ben mendelsohn to international attention in animal kingdom, then artfully scruffed up teen dream robert pattinson for 2014’s the rover. while he may be leading the assault on traditional cinema, michôd doesn’t look at all like a man who’d fit in with a four - star general’s retinue. his body language is too unassuming, his conversation too considered and his haircut — shoulder - length and in a ponytail — definitely non - regulation.
