50 Cent Replaces Forest Whitaker in "The Expendables"Posted: March 19th, 2009 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
AICN is reporting that Academy Award-winning actor Forest Whitaker has been forced to leave Sylvester Stallone's upcoming action film "The Expendables" due to a scheduling conflict. Stallone decided to keep the role in the film and has replaced Whitaker with rapper/actor 50 Cent.
Stallone has called his new movie a "homecoming of tough guys," which is why it seems semi-appropriate for 50 Cent to join the cast. He might be a terrible actor, but he can't be worse than Randy Couture who is part of the cast that includes Stallone, Couture, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The action/thriller is about a group of mercenaries attempting to overthrow a South American dictator. It is set to hit theaters on April 23rd, 2010.

Alright movie going public, we can fix this. We must band together, and shoot him nine more times in the face. Not little thug bullets like last time, big ones that are aimed accurately, for the sake of this movie... and my general dislike of 50 Cent, we must.

Ok, seriously. You have got to be fucking joking me. Are you telling me that you cant find a suitable replacement somewhere between Forest Whitaker and 50 Cent. Off the top of my head literally within one minute these names better suited for acting pop up: Michael Jai White, Terrence Howard, and Harold Perrineau, there three fine acting choices that come with a cheap price tag OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD! and that is only assuming that the character needs to be black, if not I have another one for you; Chevy Chase, thats right I said Chevy Chase! An old, white, struggling comedian that makes stupid faces is a better choice than freaking 'Fiddy', as a matter of fact if the part calls for a black man, Chevy Chase would still be better! And yes Worst previews people, 50 Cent could be worst than Randy Couture, because Couture might be the silent bad ass like Jessie Ventura in Predator, but 50 Cent will say some stupid thug line like "This reminds me of the streets, yea!" and likely shoot guns sideways to try and look cool. Dammit Sly, those steroids are getting to your head, affecting your decisions.

You go from Forest Whitaker to 50 cent?!?!?! That's like going from one of those Dagwood sandwiches to cheese and bread. This is depressing as hell unless the script is re-written to take advantage of the old tradition of "the black guy" getting killed early in the film. If not, there are a ton of more suitable actors who could've been cast. Is Chiwetel Eijofor doing anything? Djimon Hounsou? Michael Jai White would be awesome. Hell cast the curly haired dude from High school musical (kill him early too) Anyone would be better than 50.

50 Cent sucks at acting. He sucks at what he calls "singing" too.

Nice choices MrSammich as always and when did he become a tough guy? when he got shot 9 times? I bet he wasn't standing there like Scarface, he was probably crying like a baby like most people would after getting shot. There are so many better choices how did he come to this decision?

Let's just replace all great black actors with has-been hip-hop stars! From now on, all work intended for Morgan Freeman shall be assigned to Lil Wayne, and I am expect Laurence Fishburne will enjoy a long, pleasant retirement now that Young Jeezy will take up all his slated roles.
