"8 Mile" TV Series Adaptation in Works

The 2002 Eminem-starrer movie "8 Mile" is being adapted into a TV series.

During an appearance on Big Boy TV, 50 Cent announced he is collaborating with the “Lose Yourself” rapper to bring the film to the small screen.

“I’m gonna bring his 8 Mile to television. We’re in motion. It’s gonna be big. I ain’t got no duds. I’m battin’ a hundred, I’m battin’ a hundred," he said.

50 Cent added, “I think it should be there for his legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

The rapper, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, teased that the series would provide a “backstory” and showcase the lead’s younger years.

"8 Mile" was directed by Curtis Hanson and is loosely based on Eminem's life and rise to stardom.

Eminem starred as Jimmy, a white rapper that uses the stage name B-Rabbit and his journey to launch his hip-hop career.

The cast also includes Kim Basinger, Brittany Murphy, Mekhi Phifer, and others.

Eminem won an Oscar for Best Original Song, “Lose Yourself.”
