Jim Sheridan has signed on to direct gangster movie "Locked and Loaded" for Paramount Pictures and MTV according to The Hollywood Reporter. The film stars rapper 50 Cent.
"Locked and Loaded" tells the story of an orphaned kid who turns away from crime and lands a successful musical career. "The Sopranos" scribe Terence Winter penned the script.
Sheridan most recently directed "In America," his semi-autobiographical tale of growing up in a colorful tenement building in New York filled with weird and wacky underground characters. He has also signed on to direct a remake of "Ikiru."
