Pass the Bucket - Eminem is Paladin.

Hope you haven't just finished lunch. Eminem will be starring in an update of Have Gun Will Travel. He'll be a bounty hunter stalking Detroit.

I'm not kidding. Look:

Latest Hollywood travesty.

Good Lord, nooooooooooooo!!!!!

What a horrible thing to do to my favorite western TV series.

Even the talk of John Travolta starring as Paladin in a remake a few years ago was infinitely better than this.

weird. Eminem's not tough, he's just a punk kid. There are so many actors out there to choose from....and who have talent!

 

[Maj.Nick Danger]

Just when I thought the entertainment industry had hit rock bottom!

They launch this bomb! lol No wonder I don't watch TV very much. :fing28:
At least it's set in a realistic setting. Plenty of hoods to bust in Detroit.

That's just sick & wrong on so many levels. There's no way on Earth he could fill Richard Boone's boots.

Cheers!

Who could ever do it like Richard Boone performed it? One of my favourites from that era.

It's not even the Richard Boone thing but setting it in modern day simply shows that the people producing the thing are only interested in a young "hip hop" audience to = $$. They're afraid of westerns anymore anyway.[huh]

I also heard that Nelly is going to star in a remake of Gun Smoke.

Agree. I would not worry too much about having him on my trail. lol

Thank you! This my exact sentiment. How bad a "one trick pony" can Eminem be? I guess while looking for a project he could not find anything other than a generic "tough guy in his 'hood" theme? Since he is such the "artist" he decides to take a name from an established t.v. show. How creative. I am gonna lose my lunch. :eusa_doh:

Any nominees for the role of Arnold Ziffel in a re-make of Green Acres?

I read they offered it to Jessica Simpson but the lines confused her.

[Feraud]

Jessica or the pig?

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Now you have gone and insulted the pig! :eusa_doh:

Who will play Mr. Haney?

 

[Hondo]

I've been to Detroit’s “Nine Mile” where Eminem grew up, and true a punk kid, this is a modern day setting? Good grief, what was the name of his cook, the Chinese guy? My guess is one or more will be played by Chinese girls, and very true today audiences are afraid of good old fashion westerns and I’m not knocking Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson for their efforts. Glad Richard Boone isn't here to witness this, his Paladin from "Have Gun Will Travel" is one of my favorite shows.

How about

The Burton of our generation.

Now he is funny! And what a great actor, too! Little Nicky
