I don't know how reliable this website is, so it could all be bullshit. But holy fuck if it's true.

EDIT: The producer confirmed it on his twitter

Wait, wasn't it rumoured that he was gonna play a boxer in a previous movie? Seems like a popular rumour.

interesting concept but it kinda feels like 8mile backstory but as a boxer instead. Wish he does something out off his zone and different.

He wanted to but they found better.

Kurt Sutter confirmed it (I'm 99 percent sure it's really him)

I'm soooo excited for this!

I can't comment on the credibility of "deadline.com" because I have never heard of it before.

The specific article in question though (about Eminem) seems plausible and realistic.

Is it true? Who knows. Time will tell

"Eminem will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer"

At 38 isn't he a little old to be playing a boxer?

I suppose his "playing age" could get away with late 20's, early 30's (on a good day)

How old was he supposed to be in 8 Mile?

[slimsoxshady]

that would mean a a long time without music for us so i hope its not true
8 Mile was Eminem...this is just Eminem acting...which i don't care about personally
i'd rather get more music

Son's of anarchy creator, would probably be a good movie but I already have The Wrestler with a similar story I think Eminem should do something different; not another (metaphorical) story of his life.

What happened to The Fighter? I know the movie's coming out soon, does anyone know if Em is in this at all?

Wow, I guess it's true then. Never heard of him, but his twitter looks legit. 18,000+ followers too

"big announcement coming today. i haven't been this excited about a project since i sold SOA."

"FYI. never said i took meetings with "marshall", i took meetings with marshall's "producing partners".

"i'm very excited about this... and as you know, i don't excite easily. "

Hmm as i said on twitter..i would have prefered it not to be a boxing metaphore,all these boxing stories are so much alike ya know?but i guess we will see...hope it's not another rumor lol
PS:on the other hand i want him to keep making music cause once u get into making a movie....

Yeah, I thought of the The Wrestler when I read this. I think this guy should've changed the story up a little because it seems way too similar to the movie. They might get a lot of flack for that.
