Want more info on Eminem's starring role in his highly anticipated debut
film 8 Mile? Read on and find out how you can peep the new trailer.
"Eminem is delivering a powerful, honest, mature performance in 8 Mile.
He is bringing the same intensity to acting as he devotes to his
music." -Producer Brian Grazer
"The people in Detroit know 8 Mile as the city limit, a border, a
boundary. But there is a dividing line that separates each of us from
where we want to be and who we want to be. We all have our own 8 Mile." -
Director Curtis Hanson
In the film, Jimmy Smith, Jr. (Eminem) is stuck at the wrong end of that
road and can barely get from his mom's trailer to his factory job, let
alone out of town. Sometimes Jimmy thinks 8 Mile will kill him, but the
raw pain of being there can also lead him to a place inside himself where
he calls the shots - through his music.
