50 CENT, RICHARD T. JONES IN NEW COP DRAMA: Plus, rapper's mansion is now off the market after failing to sell.

       The film follows two homicide detectives who find themselves caught in the crossfire of a gang-related homicide and a group of dirty cops. Jackson plays a gang-banger who becomes a reluctant informant.       

       Production is just getting underway in Grand Rapids, Mich., where newcomer Miller attended film school. "Crossfire" will be his directorial debut.      

       Fifty's Cheetah Vision Films partner Randall Emmett is producing with R.D. Miller, who raised the equity to finance the film through his company Miller and Miller Films. Jackson is also serving as the film's executive producer with Chris Lighty and Tim Roth.      

       In other half-dollar news, the artist has decided to take his Farmington, Connecticut mansion off the market after it failed to sell for 722 days.       

       The Hartford Courant reports that the 50,000-square-foot home’s asking price of $14.5 million was too much to attract potential buyers.

      "The house is not worth one dollar over $5 million," Prudential Premier Homes agent Rob Giuffria told the newspaper.

       In addition to the hot tub, the mansion included 19 bedrooms and 37 bathrooms, as well as a gym and a disco with a 'dancing' room, complete with stripper poles.
