Eminem filming a movie called "Southpaw"?

[Trimss]

That means Eminem is going to gain some weight then make it muscles, like Will Smith with ''ali'' and that would be great if he becomes like in 2004 when i think, he had a nice body. No homo.

that is the definition of homo

No that isn't.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

just woke up and saw this,im a happy nikka.

cant wait for this i always know that Em never dissapoints.

[BigBangBazinga]

That means Em will have to be shirtless most of the time

Indeed

Sounds goooood!

Okey, this is very good for us and Eminem.

First of all, the story is great! Eminem is a famous boxer, but then somethings happens and he fell off(like 2005-2009 in his real life). He has to make a comeback because of his daughter. Then it will be interesting to see what happens in the movie.

Imagene the soundtrack of this movie. Now Eminem will rap about how is it to be famous and fell off. Maybe a song about how he made a comeback because of Hailie and Aliene. A song by 50, SH etc.

And maybe Eminem can win some movie awards again? Imagene Eminem and his crew win award at Oscars and Golden Globe about the best soundtrack, best song, best sports movie etc. Then Eminem will be back at his prime like 2002 with 8 Mile and TES.

Im so exited


And to people who says he should stay at making music. Shooting this movie will only take 2-3 mouths. He has alot of time to make music

This sounds like a fantastic combination of talents….According to Deadline Hollywood, Eminem has signed on to do a movie called Southpaw, written by Kurt Sutter, the creator/executive producer of the critically acclaimed FX series Sons of Anarchy.

Like in Eminem’s 2002 screen starring debut 8 Mile, Southpaw will be fueled by the struggles that inform Eminem’s music and mirror his life. Eminem will play a fast-rising welterweight boxer who brawls his way to the title, only to see his world crash down around him due to tragedy. The movie is about his fight to reclaim past glory.

It’s nice to see that after one of the biggest year’s of Em’s career, he’s taking on a film project that shows that he cares about the team involved (ie Sutter), as opposed to some of the crap movies vehicles that many rappers take on as vanity projects, padded with their own inexperienced handlers and homeboys. The project involves some of the same movie studio people that worked with Em on 8 Mile, and will be produced by his manager Paul Rosenberg and Stuart Parr.

Sutter tells DH that he sees a parallel between being a lefty (southpaw) in boxing, and being a white guy in hip hop…and he also sees this new movie, as a continuation of 8 Mile.

Read his comments….
after the jump

Kurt Sutter (Sons of Anarchy) says:

“I’ve had a bunch of meetings with Marshall, and I know he’s very selective and doesn’t do a lot,” Sutter told me. “But he shared so much of his personal struggle in this raw and very honest album, one that I connected with on a lot of levels. He is very interested in the boxing genre, and it seemed like an apt metaphor, because his own life has been a brawl. In a way, this is a continuation of the 8 Mile story, but rather than a literal biography, we are doing a metaphorical narrative of the second chapter of his life. He’ll play a world champion boxer who really hits a hard bottom, and has to fight to win back his life for his young daughter. At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five years of his life, using the boxing analogy. I love that the title refers to Marshall being a lefty, which is to boxing what a white rapper is to hip hop; dangerous, unwanted and completely unorthodox. It’s a much harder road for a southpaw than a right handed boxer.”

The script hasn't even been written yet, the writer hasn't even started by all accounts.

Just the premise and basic idea of the film.

So by the time the final draft of the script is complete (they said February on a few sites as a guess), and by the time it's actually filmed, edited, promoted, and then released...... I guess we're looking at a very long time before we see it.

I'd guess sometime in 2012 (10 years after 8 Mile)
