Slim Shady Headed Back To The Big Screen

The last time Eminem aka Marshall Mathers aka Slim Shady in a film, it was in 2002. The film was 8 Mile, which was loosely based on the Detroit rapper’s life. He won the Best Song Oscar at the Academy Awards for Lose Yourself. I’m honestly surprised he wasn’t considered for some sort of award or honor for his performance. His ability to project raw emotion was fantastic. Since then he’s had some serious trouble with drugs, causing him to check in to rehab and take a four-year hiatus from music and movies. Now he’s back with Relapse, his 5th solo album coming out May 19th.

Well Slim is on a media tour, promoting the album obviously, and he was asked about his whether he wanted to get back into acting, to which he replied “I’m definitely looking to get back into it soon.” His manager and long time friend Paul Rosenberg, jumped in to say that Em will have a brief cameo in a big upcoming movie this year. “It’s a murder-mystery, comedy, epic, drama, Disney movie.” That’s how Slim described the super secret “cameo.” Neither guy would elaborate further on the role, but Rosenberg did claim that the movie was “a big deal.” Check out the audio clip from Sirius Satellite Radio, click “On Acting.”

So, what movie could it be? Terminator? Transformers 2? G.I. Joe? Either way, it’s gonna be sick to see Eminem back up there on the silver screen.

What Do You Think? Discuss.

glad to see this. I feel like eminem has gotten a bad rep lately but i stand by him as my favorite rapper of all time. Easily the most creative rapper of his generation and someone who brought a new audience to hip-hop. Hopefully this isn't a bust because although some may disagree, 8 Mile was one of the few high quality hip hop movies.

Mill I do not think that this is going to be a bust since he has only said it is going to be a small part. I think if eminem has decided to do any acting he is going to pick a role that he knows he can do well in. Listening to his new album, specially the song 3am he is getting back to his roots which means he wants what ever cred he lost he wants to get back (I don't think that he has) but I think he will do great and excited to see it

Favorite rapper of all time, really? No offense rabs but that's weak millsap. From the quote it sounds like he has no idea what move he's going to be in, that statement encompasses just about every movie coming out in the next year. If anything it could be complete bullshit but a cameo by him in any flick would be sweet, its been a while for him.

Gotta say, he's probably one of, if not the most respected rappers
of this generation
