Gold-toothed gangster rapper 50 Cent has said that he wants to make a based on the game series; this despite the fact that his own, self-titled game is only just hitting shelves.

50 Cent: Blood on the Sands has of course been picked up by THQ, who are also the publisher behind the Saints Row series, hence Fiddy's new interest, it would seem.

"With my relationship with THQ, they'll actually see me develop Saints Row into an actual screeplay and into a film project," the rapper told press.

"I'm optioning the rights for that right now, so they'll see that before they see me do it from my own perspective for my game."

More on this as we get it.
