Eminem, the 37-year-old adolescent rapper, will follow up his $116 million grossing fictionalized biopic, 8 Mile, from 2002 with a 3D anthology horror movie horrifically entitled Shady Talez. The project has kicked around for a while, and is now part of a synergy package that includes a same-named four-issue comic book series due 2010 from Marvel Icons. The above image comes from that. Slim Shady will produce and star in multiple roles in the film, which will give an "urban wink" to genre classics such "as Christine, Aliens, and The Lost Boys" in the style of George Romero's Creepshow.

Jackson set to star as Sho'nuff, the Shogun of Harlem, a role played in the original by the late Julius Carry (as seen in the photo above). Wu-Tang Clan's RZA is co-producing with John Davis and Kerry Gordy while Dallas Jackson (of Uncle P) will write the screenplay. Jackson admits that he's "a huge fan of the original and look forward to bringing Sho'Nuff into the 21st century." From Afro Samurai to the Shogun of Harlem! The plot will be updated but will follow a similar story as the original, centering on a martial arts student named Leroy Green and his quest through the streets of New York to achieve the highest level of...

Dallas Jackson, writer of the upcoming film Uncle P from Beacon Pictures, is forming a production company with the intent of breaking into television. With $1 million in private financing, Los Angeles-based Street Kidz Studios is developing the pilot Lil' Homies, a contemporary update of Lil' Rascals, with a young multiethnic cast that will be produced with kid-targeted cable channels in mind. "We're looking to provide quality urban family entertainment for television," Jackson said. "I believe there's a niche there, and we can fill it."...

Beacon Pictures is banking on the appeal of father-son rappers Master P and Lil' Romeo to pack a punch at the boxoffice as the Walt Disney Co.-based production company has picked up a pair of projects involving the duo. The projects include Uncle P, an urban family comedy that Master P had bankrolled himself and recently wrapped production on with Bernard Gourly directing, and the comedy Shorty, which Beacon is in early negotiations to pick up out of turnaround at Universal Pictures. Both projects were penned by Dallas Jackson and will be distributed through Beacon's deal with Buena Vista.
