Eminem Cast As Boxer

Eminem Cast As Boxer - Eminem will star as a boxer in a new movie.

The rapper - real name Marshall Mathers - is set to play the lead role in 'Southpaw' which follows a fast-rising boxer who wins the welterweight world title, only to see his world come crashing down following a tragedy and his subsequent attempts to regain glory.

Kurt Sutter will pen the script, partly based on Eminem's struggles with prescription drug addiction, which he documented in his recent album 'Recovery'.

He told Deadline.com: 'I took meetings with Marshall's producing partners over the past seven years, looking for something to do together.

'I know he's very selective and doesn't do a lot. But he shared so much of his personal struggle in this raw and very honest album, one that I connected with on a lot of levels.

'He is very interested in the boxing genre, and it seemed like an apt metaphor, because his own life has been a brawl. In a way, this is a continuation of the '8 Mile' story, but rather than a literal biography, we are doing a metaphorical narrative of the second chapter of his life.

At its core, this is a retelling of his struggles over the last five years of his life, using the boxing analogy.'

Explaining the title of the movie, which is slang term for a left handed fighter, Kurt admitted he drew parallels with Eminem's career as a rap outsider.

A combination of hardware and software, it's been billed as a means for users to interact with their consoles and play games without using a physical controller, using natural gestures, voice commands and face recognition. I've had a final retail Kinect unit at home for a little over a week now, and have had ample time to put the shiny new gadget through its paces. Is it as magical as expected? Will it transform gaming? Or, more importantly, does it even work? Read on past the break for my in-depth review of this ambitious apparatus. Kinect is a single piece of hardware, yet it incorporates several distinct technologies. There's an infrared emitter that floods your play space with invisible light, paired with a CMOS sensor that then l...

The biggest advantage to doing body weight exercises is they can be done anywhere. Whether you're on holiday, travelling for work, or if you just want a quick exercises to do.
