Eminem: "Has Gun, Will Travel"
Tuesday - June 13, 2006 by Jolene "foxxylady" Petipas
Eminem will be making his return to the big screen as a bounty hunter in a movie remake of the 1950s TV series "Have Gun--Will Travel".

According to Daily Variety, the remake which will be released by Paramount Pictures, will have characters and story points loosely based on the ones from the series.

There is also a possibility that the film will be shot in Eminem's hometown of Detroit and will feature a soundtrack or scoring by the Grammy winning rapper.

Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films will produce the film, with credits going to Jimmy Iovine and Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg. No production dates or other details were given at press time, but the aforementioned producers and Paramount Pictures are trying to get it on the fast track.

In related news, Eminem's protégé, Obie Trice, is gearing up for the release of his sophomore album Second Round's On Me, scheduled to hit stores later this summer. The album reportedly features appearances from Eminem, Trick Trick, 50 Cent, Nate Dogg and Trey Songz.

Em, Alchemist, Fredwreck, JR Rotem and 9th Wonder are some of the producers on the project.

What next....a remake of "BJ and the Bear" starring Busta Rhymes?!

Meh.

The idea of another remake, especially when the show was bad to begin with, makes me want to avoid this at all costs.

DETROIT - 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.

This has to be a guaranteed candidate for one of the ten worst movies of all time before it is even filmed.
