R&B star Chris Brown is stepping up his campaign to show that he’s more than just a singer – he’s in final negotiations to not only join the cast of heist thriller Bone Deep, but executive produce as well.
Brown is set to line up alongside Matt Dillon, our very own Idris Elba, and the rapper, T.I., in the thriller, which sees a group of criminals plan a heist at a money depot, only for two detectives to end up right on their trail.
Brown will play one of the thieves – we’re not sure yet if that makes him a good guy or bad guy.
John Lussenhop will direct the film, which will be Brown’s fourth film with Screen Gems (which perhaps explains the executive producer credit). Although best known for his silky-voiced music, Brown has starred in Stomp The Yard and This Christmas, with sports drama Phenom also on his slate.
