[1] Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson hasn't exactly blown anyone away with his acting chops, but the guy who once got shot 9 (or was it 3? [2] Either way) times and lived to tale the tale isn't about to get scared off by a couple of negative reviews. He's already got three films lined up for next year, and he's just landed one more: Frozen Ground. Written and directed by Scott Walker, the film is based on the true story of Alaskan serial killer Robert Hansen, who murdered at least 17 victims over the course of twelve years. Jackson will be playing an '80s-era pimp, which producer Randall Emmett describes as a "substantial role." He joins a cast that already includes John Cusack as Hansen, Nicolas Cage as a state trooper, and Vanessa Hudgens as the escaped victim who helps catch Hansen. Frozen Ground will begin shooting in Anchorage next month. [The Playlist [3]] After the jump, a...

After some bit parts on TV, seemingly sweet ingénue Ashley Bell made her movie breakthrough with a terror-inducing turn in the chilling 2010 indie The Last Exorcism. With good buzz among critics and a shocking and twisted ad campaign, the low-budget flick with an unknown director took in more than 67 million dollars worldwide. And so it’s getting a sequel, terribly tentatively titled The Last Exorcism 2.
THR has revealed that Bell has entered final negotiations to reprise the role that scored her an Indie Spirit nomination last winter. At the time I noted, “Ashley Bell’s change from doe-eyed Daddy’s girl to neck-cracking demon child was as guttural and gripping as Ed Norton’s two-faced turn in Primal Fear.” So I’m admittedly eager to see her return to the rural setting for some more devilish doings.
In the meantime, Bell has scored a supporting role in a new interracial romance titled Chasing Shakespeare,...
