WORD ON THE STREET: Eminem back in movie biz


The latest Word on the Street (AKA – RUMOR) is that Eminem’s music is not the only thing that is back. With his #1 album released last week and his much publicized comeback from drug addiction, we are hearing here in Hollywood that Eminem and management are trying to gear up their film production deals as well.

Strike while the iron is hot is what we say. With all the hype and publicity, now is the perfect time for Eminem to start right back up where he left off in film. Eminem and manager Paul Rosenberg launched Shady Aftermath Films after the success of 8 Mile way back in 2002 but failed to green light and produce a film under the production banner starring Eminem. Back then the first film, Have Gun Will Travel was postponed since 2006 but now it looks like Em and company are looking to make the jump back into film.

No word yet on what projects Shady Aftermath Films is looking, but rumor has it they are exploring different film ideas including possibly revitalizing Have Gun Will Travel and a project loosely based on Eminem’s recent obstacles in balancing the music industry, personal life and drug use. We will have more once we hear it.

Kayne’s book “Thank You And You’re Welcome” is not new

Kanye West x Thank You And You’re Welcome. Most hip-hop sites have already covered the fact that Kanye West is releasing his “Kanye-ism” book “Thank You And You’re Welcome” to book stores nation-wide on July 7th. Interesting thing though is this book has actually been in the market place for over a year. All the press releases and hype surrounding the book have failed to really mention that they were giving away this book to EVERY ONE in attendance during last year’s Kanye Glow in the Dark tour.

An estimated 150,000+ Kanye West fans were given the book as they exited the concert venues across the nation. Is it really a good marketing tactic to give this away to the fans who would actually pay for it? Well if you still are interested you can get the book for $8 at Amazon.
