As reported yesterday, the Detroit rap star will next be seen in a film adaptation of the 1950s TV Western Have Gun Will Travel. In the updated version, Slim Shady will reportedly play professional gunslinger Palladin, who was portrayed by Richard Boone in the original TV series. Last week, it was announced that Eminem signed with new agency ICM for film representation. The company will also rep Interscope/Shady/Aftermath films, the Paramount Pictures-based production company Eminem runs with Stuart Parr and David Schiff.

If it's a serious western (not like Will Smith's Wild, Wild West) then I would think that it would be more country music, yet that's not the type Eminem does, though he has worked with Kid Rock before.

What he needs to do is go and do a full-length album. I don't own Encore, so I can't give a full review of his career so far.
