Eminem to Anchor "Have Gun, Will Travel" Remake
by Scott Weinberg | June 13, 2006
Blog Article | Discuss Article
We haven't seen a whole lot of M&M since he appeared (as basically himself) in "8 Mile," but now comes word that the rapper will star for Paramount in an adaptation of the old western series "Have Gun, Will Travel" -- only it's being modernized and plunked into Detroit -- which is weird.

From Variety: "Debuting in September 1957, the TV Western starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter-for-hire.

Concept will be updated to contemporary times and see Eminem playing a bounty hunter. Setting could be Eminem's hometown of Detroit, but those details have yet to be worked out.

(Eminem's manager Paul) Rosenberg told Daily Variety that the vehicle will be revamped from the original, with some characters based loosely on ones from the series as well as nods to certain story points."

So, they're aiming for the flick to be a lot like Rutger Hauer's ill-fated 'modernization' of "Wanted: Dead or Alive." Only with Eminem. Genius.

I believe the lack of a marital lifestyle has reinvigorated Em. He's ready to branch out again. I believe his next album will be some of his best material, with the demise of his marriage and the death of his best friend.

"calling it a remake is a longshot by the sound of it...." lol but new12play, might not be another album. he keeps talking about how he's done. but if there is, it will most likely be the last.

How many rappers actually retire when they say they will? After only a year DMX is already coming back ( dont know why) and Jay Z is still all over the mix tape circuit.

This won't end well. Eminem is only going to suceed in making an idiot out of himself.
