Eminem to Return to Big Screen in Western
06.13.2006, 09:03 PM
Eminem will return to the big screen in an updated version of the television Western "Have Gun - Will Travel."
Paramount Pictures has extended an 18-month option on the property to develop it as a vehicle for the Detroit rapper, Daily Variety reported Tuesday. The show debuted on CBS in 1957 and ran until 1963.
Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Mathers III, has committed to shoot the role and is excited about his latest opportunity, Interscope Records spokesman Dennis Dennehy told The Associated Press. Dennehy did not provide additional details.
The concept of the series will be updated to contemporary times and feature Eminem playing a bounty hunter, Daily Variety said.
The 33-year-old Grammy-winning rapper rose to stardom with best-selling CDs, deeply personal lyrics and a starring role in the 2002 film "8 Mile."
Eminem is also expected to be involved in producing the soundtrack of the new film.
"Have Gun - Will Travel" starred Richard Boone, who earned Emmy nominations in 1959 and 1960 for his portrayal of gunfighter-for-hire Paladin.

That at least would be historicaly correct for the time period. It would be hillarious if he has an AD while it's still in his pants. :t

I bet they change Heyboy's name and turn him into a kungfu master mentor.

Oh man... this really pisses me off.... I bought the original series on DVD and it is great..
I can't think of anyone worse for the part than some tiny little wigger with a bad attitude and the IQ of a dog.
Palidin was educated and a West Point grad. He was sophisticated and witty and liked classical music and was able to fit in with all cultures.
The original series is well worth watching. I can't imagine anyone who could watch the original and then want this em wigger to play the part.

The IQ of a dog?
How dare you?!
How could you be so insulting and culturally insensitive?!
Some of my dogs have been far more intelligent than he is!
:D
