Eminem turns professional gunslinger for Hollywood comeback

Rap sensation Eminem is set to return to the big screen after signing a movie deal with Hollywood talent agency International Creative Management.

The '8 Mile' star recently turned down a 10 million dollar offer to star opposite actor Samuel L Jackson in director Doug Liman's upcoming film Jumper, but has gone back on his previous pledge to stay away from Hollywood by agreeing to play a role in the planned contemporary remake of the 1950s TV Western Have Gun Will Travel.

In the remake, Eminem is set to play the role of professional gunslinger Palladin, which was played by Richard Boone in the TV original and John Dehner on radio.

Eminem will also record the music for the film, which will be filmed in his home town of Detroit, reports Moviehole. (ANI)
