Danny Trejo shoots everything in 'Vengeance' trailer

Danny Trejo has boarded the vengeance train. First, he will soon kick some serious ass in "Machete." But there's more! He will also shoot bad guys in "Vengeance," an upcoming film by Gil Medina.

A red band trailer for "Vengeance" has now hit the Web, and it looks pretty intense. The film has that amateurish look and feel to it, but it's got a butt-kicking Trejo all over it, and that's cool, right?

Essentially, Trejo plays a dude who's seen violence destroy his world. He then heads to the streets to battle crime all by himself. 50 Cent and Dallas Page co-star, and the flick hits theaters Nov. 11, 2010.

Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson is 'Caught in the Crossfire'

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Chris Klein, Adam Rodriguez and Richard T. Jones are set to star in Brian Miller's upcoming directorial debut "Caught in the Crossfire." Written by Miller, the police drama follows two homicide detectives who find themselves caught in a tough homicide case involving a group of corrupt cops. Variety says Jackson plays an informant.

Jackson is no stranger to the genre. He most recently starred opposite Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino in "Righteous Kill." The musician-turned-actor has a bunch of other projects lined up, including "Streets of Blood," "13" and "Jekyll and Hyde." Klein recently starred in "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," while Rodriguez has been busy on "CSI: Miami." Jones starred in "Vantage Point."

50 Cent, Kiefer Sutherland to star in 'Twelve'

Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Ellen Barkin, Kiefer Sutherland, Chace Crawford, Emma Roberts and Rory Culkin have signed on to star in Joel Schumacher's "Twelve."

Based on the novel by Nick McDonell, the film centers on a former high schooler and drug dealer whose life takes a drastic turn after his best friend is arrested for murdering the dealer's cousin. Jordan Melamed wrote the screenplay.

Schumacher most recently directed "The Number 23," which I admit I pretty much hated. His credits also include "The Phantom of the Opera," "Veronica Guerin" and "Bad Company."

Jackson last starred in "Righteous Kill," and he's got plenty of future projects lined up. Roberts was recently seen in "Hotel for Dogs," while Barkin last appeared in "Ocean's Thirteen." As for Crawford, he's been busy doing "Gossip Girl."

Culkin's credits include "Signs" and "Mean Creek," and Sutherland is still running around as Jack Bauer. He also voiced a character in "Monsters vs. Aliens."

50 Cent starts production company

50 Cent, who's also known as Curtis Jackson, is digging deeper into the film industry by launching his own production company.

According to Reuters, Cheetah Vision has already acquired eight scripts. One of them is titled "The Dance," which will star Jackson and Nicholas Cage.

"(The script) was previously passed around a little bit but both me and Nicolas Cage had an interest in the film so it will still happen. He plays the founder of a boxing program, and I play a fighter who goes to state prison," 50 Cent told Reuters.

Jackson also said he's not really worried about starting Cheetah Vision amid a struggling economy. The man's got plenty of money, and he said he'll make sure to back the whole thing financially.

Another project 50 Cent recently wrote and directed is "Before I Self Destruct," a drama that will be released with his new album in March.

Jackson's acting credits include "Get Rich or Die Tryin'," "Home of the Brave" and "Righteous Kill." He's also working on "Dead Man Running" and "13."
