Eminem to Star in ‘Have Gun Will Travel’ Remake
Apparently, Eminem wants to be a cowboy when he grows up.

Variety reports that rapper/actor Eminem will star in a big-screen remake of the TV classic Have Gun – Will Travel for Paramount Pictures. The project will be a contemporary take on the 1950’s Western series that starred Richard Boone.
Paramount reportedly has an 18-month option to develop Have Gun as an action drama for Eminem. Interscope/Shady/Aftermath Films will produce. Eminem may also contribute to some portion of the soundtrack or score. Concept will be updated to contemporary times and see Eminem playing a bounty hunter, ” Variety claims. “Setting could be Eminem’s hometown of Detroit, but those details have yet to be worked out.”
The trade, citing Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg, claims Have Gun “will be revamped from the original, with some characters based loosely on ones from the series as well as nods to certain story points.” It would seem highly unlikely that Eminem’s character will be a brandy-sipping, Shakespeare-quoting, chess player like Boone’s Paladin.
This won’t be the first contemporized and not very Western-like feature remake of a TV oater: 1987’s Wanted: Dead or Alive, a follow-up to the old Steve McQueen series, starred Rutger Hauer as the descendant of McQueen’s bounty hunter.
I suppose that, given a black hat and a shirt to cover up the tats, Mathers could look a little like Richard Boone. But why do “Have Gun Will Travel” if it’s not a Western? Let alone if it’s about some thug from Detroit rather than a gentleman hero?
