The film would star Em as an ex-con trying to keep his life straight despite pressure from his former colleagues to rejoin the gang and from the FBI to join them in taking the gang down.
VIOLENCE has apparently been bouncing around Fox for years now with a number of writers taking different stabs at the material. Currently David Von Ancken (“Californication”), who wrote the most recent draft, is in line to direct the film.
It’s unclear if Eminem, whose “Recovery” was the #1 album of 2010, would contribute any songs to the soundtrack of the film but it’s hard to imagine that he wouldn’t have some part in that. No word yet on when filming on VIOLENCE might begin.
