By Nancy Tartaglione
Eminem will mark a return to the big screen in the 3D film "Shady Talez," Screen reports. This would be the first film he's starred in since 2002's "8 Mile." He will produce the project which is tipped as a "Twilight Zone" meets "Creepshow" affair. Shady Talez is also being turned into a four-issue comic book series due out in 2010.
Producing with Eminem (real name: Marshall Bruce Mathers III) are "I, Robot" producer John Davis and writer-producer Dallas Jackson. Kevin Grevioux, is co-writing the screenplay with Jackson and will produce as well.
D.J. Classicz/Davis Entertainment have hired market veteran James MacLean to establish ties with international buyers at the AFM, Screen reports. Domestically, the venture benefits from Davis' first-look deal at Fox.
Jackson told Screen he was also preparing "The Little Homiez," a cross between "Home Alone" and "The Rugrats," to be directed by Robert Townsend. Bobb'e J Thompson of "Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs" is attached to star.
