Rapper and producer 50 Cent (real name Curtis James Jackson III) revealed he works on a TV show adaptation of 8 Mile. The project also involves rapper Eminem, who played the main role in the original.
50 Cent posted the news to the radio host on his YouTube channel. According to the producer, he is changing the tape for the small screen so that younger generation can use Eminem. The rappers have been friends since the first two years of the century and collaborated for many times.
The film Curtis Hansons was released in 2002 and is not as written as an idiomism. In that story, the main character, a white rapper, wants to defend the rap community in Detroit. Because of the Oscar picture for the best song, it was a film.
Recently, 50 Cent started to work on many television and film projects (Black Mafia and The Oath of the Black People). He recently teamed up with Eli Roth to work on three horror films in a time.
