EMINEM TO PLAY "THE HEART OF A MAN" AND "A KNIGHT WITHOUT HONOR IN A SAVAGE LAND" IN 50'S TV WESTERN REMAKE.

The caustic lyricist has been absent from the big screen for four years now (since Oscar winning 2002 flick 8 Mile.) Still, he will pick the role of gun-fighter Palladin in the re-"imagining" of Rabbit Ears era western, Have Gun Will Travel.

The rapper will record a new version of the theme & songs inspired by the era- on his soundtrack for the movie.

It seems the story will be adapted for modern times and be filmed in Detroit. Em also intends to maintian the classy and highly educated veneer of the two-gun, peace maker.
