[新聞] Eminem Goes "Gun" Crazy

Semi-retired from rapping, Eminem is targeting a return to acting.
The hip-hop star, whose film debut in 2002's 8 Mile was a critical and
box-office smash, is attached to star in Paramount's contemporary update of
CBS' classic TV series Have Gun Will Travel, Daily Variety reports.
The artist otherwise known as Marshall Mathers III will play a modern version
of the show's hero, Paladin, a professional gunslinger and West Point
graduate in the original series, who, after the Civil War, lends his deadly
talents out as a mercenary for hire.
The original TV western, starring Richard Boone, ran from 1957 to 1963 and
was hugely popular. His black-clad bounty hunting hero carried a business
card featuring the figure of a white chess knight--and bearing the
transcription: "Have Gun Will Travel...Wire Paladin, San Francisco."
The big-screen version will reportedly incorporate some elements from the
show but will be revamped as a present-day action-adventure.
In a nod to Eminem's rabid fan base Variety reports that filmmakers might
tweak the story to take place in the rapper's hometown of Detroit. An Oscar
winner for Best Song for 8 Mile's "Lose Yourself," Eminem is also expected to
contribute several original songs to the Have Gun Will Travel soundtrack.
The studio will develop the property via Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films
with Eminem's manager, Paul Rosenberg, music producer Jimmy Iovine, and the
rapper likely sharing producer credit.
Paramount is putting Have Gun Will Travel on the fast track and hopes to roll
cameras within the coming months.
The film finds the hip-hop legend at a crossroads, both personally and
professionally.
After spending a month in rehab last year to kick an addiction to
prescription sleep medication, Eminem remarried and then filed for divorce
yet again from on-off partner Kim Mathers.
And while he is taking time off from his own recording, Eminem has been
keeping himself busy in the studio producing prot嶲?Obie Trice's sophomore
album.
