50 Cent & Val Kilmer star in "Microwave Park"

As Val Kilmer announced last month, he will be partnering up with 50 Cent in his next movie, taking the place of Robert DeNiro in the long awaited New Orleans crime thriller Microwave Park. Film has been in various stages of development for the past three years but is now finally coming together. 50 Cent will play a New Orleans cop with his partner as Val Kilmer. Considering recent events, it's good this isn't the long awaited G-Unit movie (that will now never come out) and Young Buck isn't playing 50's partner...

Movie is about a cop (Kilmer) who believes his old partner died during Hurricane Katrina but later finds out that he was actually murdered. With the help of his new partner (50 Cent), Kilmer gets deeper and deeper into exposing the crooked cops who are running the run-down city.

Part of the reason Microwave Park has been postponed for so long was the casting issues and the script. DeNiro was originally attached to the film with 50 Cent but instead the two will co-star in the upcoming Righteous Kill. Microwave Park has just started the pre-production phase which includes casting and location scouting. Movie is not anticipated to release at least until late 2009.

Seems like this type of movie has been made a hundred times before no? And how do you go from DeNiro to Val Kilmer? Ice MAn? For Real? At least 50 is still doin his thing. He need to end G-Unit alltogether and just get to actin.

50 gets paid that all that matters
