Actually this isn't the first time the playa's turned player (just don't mention Home of the Brave, ok? It's still a little raw.) He also played himself to varied reviews in 2005's Get Rich or Die Tryin'  - of course being inevitably opposed to anything with such blatantly consumerist overtones blah blah blah, we felt obliged to restrain ourselves from rushing to to box office and forming a queue the very moment it opened. But this time things are different: Fiddy's going indie. After all, anything Eminem can do... well, you know.

And we're totally buying it. I mean why shouldn't we? Apparently they've got none other that Joshua Leonard directing - star of The Blair Witch Project, aka The Indie Flick To End All Indie Flicks (we mean that quite literally). And it's set in jail - not only a bona-fide ho-free zone but also a fool-proof sign that a film is, like, totally serious and stuff. But beyond that we don't know much.

Oh, except the title: Spectacular Regret. (Ok People, give them a break, will you? IT'S A WORK IN PROGRESS.)
