And while he keeps his private life out of the papers and prefers not to make as many public appearances as he used to, fans might be seeing a lot more of him soon. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Slim Shady has plans to star in the crime thriller "Random Acts of Violence."
The movie, which would bring the Detroit rapper back to movie theaters more than nine years after he made his big-screen debut in the autobiographical hit "8 Mile," has been kicking around for more than four years as the script has undergone a number of rewrites and revisions. The latest draft centers on an ex-con who is fresh out of prison and trying to stay on the straight-and-narrow despite pressure from his pals to go back to a life of crime. He's also fighting off a simultaneous pull from the FBI to join forces with them to bring down the crime syndicate. Writer-director David Von Ancken ("Californication") is expected to direct.
While a spokesperson for Em could not be reached for comment at press time to confirm the report, if true it would be the second film the reclusive rapper is rumored to be circling.
