Yelena Popovic's gangster-themed film Moses the Black has added several actors to its cast, reported Deadline. Rapper Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson serves as an executive producer for the film.

Set in Chicago, USA, Moses the Black stars Omar Epps and Chukwudi Iwuji, with rappers Wiz Khalifa and Quavo. The film, which is inspired by the story of St Moses, stars Omar Epps in the lead as Malik. Khalifa stars as a contentious member of Malik's crew, 2wo-3ree. The cast is rounded out with Quavo playing Straw, Malik's rival, and Chukwudi Iwuji as the titular saint.

Popovic produces this film under her newly launched Simeon Faith banner. Other executive producers for the film apart from Jackson include Epps under his BrooklynWorks Films banner and Khalifa under his Taylor Gang Films.

While there is no release date confirmed, prodcution for the film is set to start later this year.
