I want to know in what universe a RAPPER thinks he can write horror movies.
Look, don’t get me wrong here, I actually enjoy Eminem’s work on a certain limited level–the guy’s got a gift for social satire–but to suggest that he can tackle a horror movie franchise is just going way too far.
Case in point, the comic book about to turn film franchise, Shady Talez. Dig the word:
From the mind of international Pop-Star, multi-Grammy winner, and the top selling artist of 2009 Eminem, comes the new horror franchise Shady Talez, a fictional horror comic-book that literally sucks it’s reader into it’s very pages. Each horror story is a wink at an original classic such as Christine, Aliens, and The Lost Boys while Eminem puts his own dark spin on the genre playing multiple characters and introducing new stories to the new horror generation.
Yeah, I know, I’m pretty darn terrified by the whole matter too, and not because the movie themselves are scary. They’ve basically announced a plan to rip off a whole bunch of big names (what did you think a “wink” was?) and slap some lipstick on this pig by connecting Eminem to it.
I’m very, very deeply saddened by all this, and only hope that it turns out better than it actually sounds.
