Eminem Not Going To Star In Grand Theft Auto Movie Despite Reports

Is Eminem going to appear in a movie based off the “Grand Theft Auto” video game? Nope, waring MTV game writer gives the smackdown to a Variety game writer who had evidently reported that the apparently tumescent rapper, was in talks to possibly star as far back as a year ago.

Not so says a Rock Star Games veep, who claims a film version was never on the table. “Some movie producers were trying to put something together to entice us to make a movie, as studios and production teams frequently have done in the past. This proposal was no more interesting than the numerous others we receive. We never entertained proceeding with the project.”[MTV]
