Eminem Puts Music Before Movies
By Omar Paredes
Eminem is known for holding back no punches. But right now, he’s holding back at least one.
The Detroit rapper has postponed the production of his latest big screen flick Southpaw, to concentrate on making music. According to Eminem’s camp,
“He’s focusing on his music right now, so while he’s doing that, while he’s in that space, he wanted to put this on hold for the time being.”
Southpaw, a griddy drama about a boxer trying to make a comeback in life and in the ring, would be Eminem’s first feature film since his Academy-Award winning movie, 8 Mile.
This November marks the 10-year anniversary of 8 Mile, and though Eminem has made cameos in the movie Funny People and also on HBO’s Entourage, acting has pretty much taken a back seat to his music career.
This isn’t the first road bump Southpaw has encountered. After being shelved by DreamWorks last August, MGM picked up the rights to the movie in October, with Sony set to distribute it.
The Detroit Free Press reports that Southpaw applied for $8.9 million in Michigan film incentives earlier this year. However, organizers withdrew their application due to “talent issues.” The film would have employed over 200 crew members plus 9,000 extras, the Free Press notes.
On the bright side, when shooting for the film does begin, Eminem won’t have to travel too far from his native Detroit to do so. A rep for Eminem stated,
“What I’m told is when the film does get made, the plan is that the bulk of it will be shot in Michigan. That was always the understanding.”
Last January, it was reported that Eminem was set to appear in another film, the crime thriller Random Acts of Violence. However, the status of that film has not been announced lately.
You can’t really blame Em for pushing back the film. Right now he’s busy putting the finishing touches on the new album by super-rap group Slaughterhouse, signed to Shady Records. In an interview with XXL, one of the group’s members, Crooked I, commented on Eminem’s involvement with the new Slaughterhouse record.
“He’s arranging, he’s being featured on songs, he’s producing. He’s putting in just as much, if not more work, than everyone else as far as Slaughterhouse. If he’s not featured on it he produced it, if he didn’t produce it he arranged it, if he didn’t arrange it…when it’s all said and done, his presence is going to be felt throughout.”
The Slaughterhouse album, Welcome to: Our House is slated for a June 12th release.
Another Shady artist hoping to get Eminem’s blessing on his upcoming sophomore effort, Love Story, is Alabama rapper, Yelawolf.
In an interview with HipHopDX, the rapper stated,
“Well you know it’s Shady Records, and of course that’s the homie, so the door is always open. I’m not sure when or if he’s going to be available during that time, but I’m positive that we’re going to be working together on a project. I always keep him in the circle because you know it’s important to keep it in the family.”
Eminem seems to be in high demand these days. Do you think he’ll ever find time to film another movie?
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
I seriously see why fantastic publish you have ship to us. We guarantee this is beneficial for most people.
You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
This really answered my problem, thank you!
I appreciate you taking the time to talk about them with people.
I completely adore your weblog and locate almost all of your post鈥檚 to be just what I鈥檓 searching for. can you offer guest writers to write content material to suit your needs? I wouldn鈥檛 mind composing a post or elaborating on a few with the subjects you write about here. Once again, awesome web site!
It is hard to discover knowledgeable folks during this topic, nevertheless, you can be seen as do you know what that you are dealing with! Thanks
I鈥檝e writers block that comes and goes and I need to find a way to get rid of my writers block. It can occasionally be so bad I can barley make sentences. Any tips?
Then more friends can talk about this problem
