On a parking lot in a backyard near the Hollywood Boulevard we got into a 50 Cent rehearsal for the “Curtis” album release concert on the next day, closed off behind a fence and guarded by police. We asked an officer if this really was 50 Cent. His answer: “Yeah and I’m 25 Cent.”

Auf einem Hinterhof-Parkplatz nahe dem Hollywood Boulevard gerieten wir in eine durch Metallzäune und jede Menge Polizei abgeriegelte Konzertprobe von 50 Cent.
Wir fragten einen Polizisten, ob das der echte 50 Cent sei. Antwort: “Yeah and I’m 25 Cent”.

A few hours after our first visit at the “John Hancock” film shot they were still shooting new scenes. In the meantime they had filmed a crash with this truck we unfortunately didn’t see.

Einige Stunden nach unserem ersten Besuch bei den Filmaufnahmen von “John Hancock” war man hier immer noch schwer zu Gange. Inzwischen hatten sie einen Crash mit diesem Truck gedreht, den wir gern gesehen hätten.
