Screen Gems inked a three picture deal with rapper/actor T.I. this week that is slated to launch with the rapper appearing in the crime drama Bone Deep.
The move comes just after T.I.'s deal with MTV, as previously reported [on Singersroom.com], which involves a reality series that will cover the 1,000 hours of community service he is slated to perform before heading off to serve his sentence next year.
In Bone Deep, the first of the three picture deal, T.I. joins Matt Dillon and Idris Elba in the film about a group of bank robbers who pull off a daring high rise heist and are dragged into one last job by a freshly paroled cohort; according to Variety.
T.I. who has also also appeared in American Gangster and ATL, will later star in the second Screen Gems film titled Boulevard, a drama in development, with the third picture to be determined at a later date.
According to recent reports, the movie work will be scheduled around the legal complications faced by the star.
