Rapper Eminem is set to star in a 3D horror anthology titled "Shady Talez." Eminem will work with D.J. Classicz/Davis Entertainment (producer John Davis) on the urban-inspired horror film. The script will be a collaboration between "I, Robot" writer Dallas Jackson and "Underworld" writer Kevin Grevioux. In addition, "Shady Talez" will also be released as a Marvel Icons comic book series in 2010.

According to ShockTillYouDrop.com, the three horror stories included in "Shady Talez" are spins on old horror classics like "Christine," "The Lost Boys" and "Aliens."

The "Shady Talez" project was announced back in February of 2008. At the time, Dallas Jackson said, "We intend to marry each of the stories with a hot director from the music video and/or film world along with Violator's hip-hop talent roster."

A release date for "Shady Talez" has not yet been announced.

EMINEM "IS" a horror movie! lol

But seriously, I don't like Rap
Music but I tell you Eminem is
one creative rhymer, he's the
only musician or poet I ever seen
that Rhymed with the word, ORANGES!

It was in--BIG WEENIE

There is no denying that my weenie is much bigger
than yours is

Mine is like sticking a banana between two oranges

Eminem/Marshall Mathers has shown his considerable acting chops once and I think he could definitely carry his own horror movie. I'm surprised he hasn't done a bunch of roles since 8 Mile, he really could've gotten a lot more roles and I believe he'd have a successful acting career right now.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 11/15/2009, 2:53 AM
TonyDark @ Couldn't agree more, he does have the knack for it, not many rappers/singers can manage it but he can, hands down.

Plus he loves comic book, make him even more cool in my book.

I wonder is he'd do a comic book movie and if so what one, hmm?? (Well apart from this of course lol).

I saw an interview with Eminem a few months ago where he talked about getting sober. He said that he got back into comics while looking for things to keep his mind busy.
DDD
DDD - 11/15/2009, 6:00 AM
Yeah, I wondered why he didn't keep up the acting, myself?
Guess it was the drugs! At least he likes comics now!
He isn't that bad at acting, better than Timberlake
by far!

Tea@ Orange you glad I didn't say banana again?
Whoops, there I just said it! Damm! lol

@anil, LMAO

but i lisen to a lot of rap, and eminem is by far my favorite. most "rappers" are just rhymers, but eminem is a story teller. anyway, i heard he wuz supposed to be cast for the lead role in jumper before Hayden Christensen was cast.
DDD
DDD - 11/15/2009, 7:56 AM
Man that's too bad! Eminem woulda been way
better than HAYDEN! Hayden just ain't much
of an actor!

Jumper woulda been far more fantastic with
EMINEM and JAMIE BELL together in it!

LEEE777 - 11/15/2009, 8:10 AM
TEA @ Lmao!

Fartman @ Kudos!!

DDD @ I liked JUMPER lol!! Though yeah, HAYDEN cant act his way outta a paper bag lol! He reminds me for some reason all the time of that kn*b who played VENOM in SPIDEY 3 too! : D

LEEE@ he could possible be the Human Touch. I think with his mouth he could be a smart ass that the human touch requires lol

Killian-- Yes, comics can heal the sick.

Not sure how I feel about this so far.

If they do a mini remake of Christine, what era will they choose the car from? The original movie is set in early 80s/late 70s and the car is from 30years before that. If the remake is set in present day will the car be from the 80s/70s?

well this will be an epic fail. so they want to bring in music video directors, atleast the movie will be a tittie/ass fest.

i don't listen to MOST rap or hip hop, but eminem is VERY talented. his new stuff kind of sucks compared to his first 2 albums, but he IS creative. lol

i actually hope this is good. :)

Timothy Olyphant should be the FLASH.

sethpierzkor @ i totally get the same feel between both films

jazzman - 11/15/2009, 2:59 PM
Eminem is a good rapper but since 50 Cent join Shady Records Eminem last two albums Encore and Relapse have not been that good.

im hoping to not see 50 cent in this Shady Talez movie.

I'd watch this. I think Eminem, Dr. Dre, Ice-T, Snoop and Xzibit are all talented & CAN act. Hoping for the best (well, the best it can get for a Rap based film, that is).
@shibazz- I agree. I think Timothy Olyphant could be a great Barry Allen/Flash. He would be too mature for a Wally West/Flash.

stalepie - 11/15/2009, 7:46 PM
Cool, I hope this turns out cool. Eminem can be amazing. His track "Kim" I'll never forget!
stalepie
stalepie - 11/15/2009, 7:47 PM
Wait, what about Eminem being better than Hayden? He was going to be in Star Wars?
stalepie
stalepie - 11/15/2009, 7:48 PM
I think DMX is a good actor.
FAD
FAD - 11/15/2009, 8:10 PM
hes not a terrible actor so this could work out to be ok......!!!! :o)
shibazz
shibazz - 11/15/2009, 11:45 PM
@MagicEffers- good point... although i would be willing to trade that slight maturity issue in for Tim O.'s wit and wry humor.
