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.

It makes sense he would come back now. He was actually decent in 8 Mile even though he played himself. it would be nice to see what other roles he could take. If you see since he left and came back every other rapper is in the acting game now so why can’t he?
I heard about that have gun will travel movie back in early 2000 and nothing ever happened to it.
8 Mile was good but he played himself. How challenging is that? The real question is can he act other than playin himself. I leave it at that.
He is one note.

After the acting at the movie awards this is not surprising!
I hope that this time he gets his act right, and stay away from drugs. We'll never know unless a proper drug detection shows.
