new CBS series featuring Eminem, " Have Gun Will Travel "
 

Semi-retired from rapping, Eminem is targeting a return to acting.

The hip-hop star, whose film debut in 2002's 8 Mile was a critical and box-office smash, is attached to star in Paramount's contemporary update of CBS' classic TV series Have Gun Will Travel, Daily Variety reports.

The artist otherwise known as Marshall Mathers III will play a modern version of the show's hero, Paladin, a professional gunslinger and West Point graduate in the original series, who, after the Civil War, lends his deadly talents out as a mercenary for hire.

Have Gun Will Travel :Oh crap

It's his second and third movies that will probably determine whether he can make a smooth transition to acting ala Ice Cube and (to a lesser degree) Will Smith.

Read the article closer since it will be a big-screen version and not a tv series. I think the casting of Eminem as Paladin is so wrong.

Or snoop dog in "Car Wash"

Have Gun Will Travel

He retired from rapping???

Yeah he even kinda looks like Richard Boone:winkwink:
