50 Cent to Curate Free Action Channel on Roku


50 Cent is curating his own free, ad-supported action channel on Roku, which will feature films like 'Rambo' and 'Kill Bill.'

It will feature 50 Cent’s personal favorite films and TV series drawn from Lionsgate’s library of 20,000-plus titles, including “The Expendables,” “The Hitman’s Bodyguard,” “Rambo” and a handful of movies starring the rapper himself. The channel will also connect its programming to 50 Cent’s music, including a heist-themed stunt tied to his landmark album “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” with films like “Empire State,” “Reservoir Dogs” and “Man on a Ledge” — as well as a female-led action stunt based on his album “I Like the Way She Do It,” featuring “Kill Bill: Volume 1” and “Kill Bill: Volume 2,” “The Protégé” and “Haywire.” Jennifer Vaux, vice president of content acquisition and programming at Roku, added: “We’re excited to collaborate with our longstanding partner Lionsgate and Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson on this innovative channel.
