Eminem
Eminem’s first movie since “8 Mile” is one step closer to happening.
“Southpaw,” a boxing movie set up at DreamWorks with Eminem attached to star, has been on the hunt for a director and now looks to be zeroing on Antoine Fuqua, best known for helming “Training Day.”
The director, who is currently shooting a biopic in China, is in talks to board the pugilist picture, which is hoping for a fall start.
The “Southpaw” script by Kurt Sutter tells of a welterweight champ who punches his way back to glory after a tragedy.
The studio picked up the project in December when another boxing movie, “The Fighter,” was burning up the box office and awards season buzz.
Eminem will be headling the 2011 Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival. Follow our complete coverage here.
