50 Cent is set to star in a new movie based on the war in Iraq.

The rapper, who recently made his film debut in the biopic 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin', will appear alongside the likes of Samuel L Jackson, Jessica Bell and Christina Ricci in 'Home Of The Brave', according to Variety magazine.

The film tells the story of three soldiers who struggle to adjust to normal life when they return home from the war.

Shooting for the movie begins next month in Morroco before moving on to Washington.
