    NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is in final negotiations to join Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in "Righteous Kill," a crime thriller that starts shooting in September.

    The acting veterans play detectives tracking a serial killer, while Jackson would play a drug dealer who helps them with their investigation.

    De Niro and Pacino will be onscreen together for nearly the entire film. The longtime friends shared no screen time in 1974's "The Godfather: Part II" and only one scene in 1995's "Heat." Jackson starred in "Get Rich Or Die Tryin,'" a 2005 movie based on his drug-dealing past.

    Jon Avnet will direct the $60 million project. Overture Films, the nascent studio arm of Liberty Media's Starz Entertainment pay-TV unit, has picked up all North American rights.
