Drake is a Rapper, we all know that but in case you forgot he was on a little show called, Degrassi (a Canadian Teen show). Well Drake is currently in negotiations to star in the movie, Arbitrage with Al Pacino and Susan Sarandon.
According to MTV,
A spokesperson for producer Johnny Lin’s Filmula company confirmed Monday that Drake is in negotiations to join the financial thriller “Arbitrage.” The Wrap reported that the Young Money rapper is considering joining the cast of the indie film, which will be written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki (“The Outsider”).
According to the site, the movie follows the path of a hedge-fund magnate who is in over his head and desperate to complete the sale of his shady trading empire to a major bank before his fraud is revealed. But then an “unexpected, bloody error” forces him to turn to an unlikely source for protection.
Susan Sarandon and “Casino Royale” star Eva Green have already signed on to play the wife and art-dealer mistress, respectively. The movie is slated to begin filming in March in New York and will feature a reunion of Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino and Sarandon, who co-starred in HBO’s Jack Kevorkian biopic “You Don’t Know Jack.” Pacino will play the lead role; it was not known at press time what Drake’s part would be.
It wouldn’t be the first time Drake (born Aubrey Graham), 24, has made the jump from TV to films, following up on his small role in 2007’s “Charlie Bartlett.”
