In 1999, Aaliyah landed her first movie role in "Romeo Must Die", released March 22, 2000. A loose adaptation of William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Aaliyah starred opposite martial artist Jet Li, playing a couple who fall in love amid their warring families. It grossed US$18.6 million in its first weekend, ranking number two at the box office. In addition to acting, Aaliyah served as an executive producer of the film soundtrack, to which she contributed four songs. Aaliyah revealed that the production team "actually talked about the soundtrack before we even shot the movie". In a 2011 interview with billboard DMX stated that Aaliyah and Romeo Must Die's producer Joel Silver personally asked him to be a part of the film. "When I was on tour her and Joel Silver came to my dressing room to see if I wanted to be a part of the movie,". He then said "Most people would have there people call, but she came herself. I'm like, 'Is this a trick question? You have to ask me if I want to be in a movie with Aaliyah? Hell yeah.' We [then] met up in Vancouver to [do] Romeo Must Die."
