T.I. will begin shooting two films within the next several months. One called Once Was Lost co-starring Danny Glover, and the other is a comedy called For Sale.
”I play a young, money-hungry drug dealer, and Danny Glover is in it with me. He plays a senile jazz musician,” T.I. explained about Once Was Lost. “He kind of tricked me into driving him to Mississippi from Harlem against my will. We learn so much about each other along the way. It’s kinda like [an] older generation/younger generation, unlikely bond. [It's an] extreme pleasure to be able to work alongside a legend like Danny Glover.”
T.I. also wants to begin production on For Sale at the beginning of 2008, but before those flicks, the very next movie fans will see him in is American Gangster, due out November 2.
“I play Common’s son in American Gangster. It’s a phenomenal film,” T.I. said of the movie, which also stars Denzel Washington. “It’s one of the most prolific black gangster pictures ever to hit the screen. Tremendous amount of acting. Everybody’s going hard. It’s like when a hip-hop fan hears a song like [Khaled's] ‘We Takin’ Over’ and you hear all your favourites and you hear them at their best. That’s what American Gangster is like for film. Cuba Gooding Jr., Common, RZA, Russell Crowe, Idris Elba. Everybody is doing their thing, everybody is going hard.”
T.I.’s new album, T.I. vs. T.I.P. is still in the Top 10 on the sales chart more than six weeks after its release.

Well now that he is out of prison he can get to work on all these other ventures. I saw him in a movie a couple years back and think he should probably just stick to raping, he good at that.
