NYILFF: 50 Cent & Jessy Terrero Present 'Gun'

By Elis T. Ortiz

Cuando Jessy Terrero dirigió el vidéo para la canción “Candy Shop” con 50 Cent, the set was overflowing with sexy women. The New York International Latino Film Festival red carpet for the premiere of their movie "Gun" was pretty much along the same lines: eye candy por todos lados!

Julissa Bermudez and Adrienne Bailón looked bellas como siempre in their sexy short dresses.

"America’s Next Top Model" winner Jaslene Gonzalez was graceful in a long, completely see-through purple dress over a white one piece bathing suit.

Actress Emily Meade también estuvo ahí apoyando a 50 Cent, whom she co-starred with in the movie "Twelve."

Jackson arrived late to his movie premiere, looking all business in his three piece suit, and "Gun" director Jessy Terrero joked that whoever wrote Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson on the boards alerting press to his arrival must not know “Fif” at all. After working on multiple music videos together, Jessy certainly does know the rapper/actor who’s now adding writer to his credits.

Cuando le preguntamos a Jessy qué le cautivó de este proyecto, he said he believes in Fif so much that he agreed to direct the film before even reading the script.

"Gun" is, as its title suggests, an action film that follows a gun into criminal hands, namely those of Fif and veteran actor Val Kilmer. Kilmer and Jackson have worked together in the past, on the straight-to-DVD release Streets of "Blood."

"Gun" was written and produced by Jackson, who’s also currently working on three other film projects, leaving no doubt that he’s aiming to conquer Hollywood as he did the music world. Jessy Terrero promises audiences a thrill ride along the lines of a modern "New Jack City."

After the film’s screening at the School of Visual Arts Theater in NYC, we headed downtown to trendy hotspot Greenhouse for the celebration. Some of the celebs seen earlier made it to the party, and even Fif made an appearance in the VIP area, but left pretty early on… and we can’t say we blame him. A esa fiesta le faltaba energía, unlike the Dominican NYILFF night where guests were dancing it up.

Let’s hope "Gun" gets a better reception from audiences. The film will hit theaters sometime in 2011. Suerte Fif!
