Eminem Boxer Film 'Southpaw' To Be Delayed, So He Can Work On New Music

Looks like Eminem will be working on new music, rather than starting his new role as a boxer in an MGM produced film.

“Southpaw,” about a welterweight boxer battling to put his life and career back together, sought incentives in the first quarter of 2012 as “Untitled MGM Project.” Its estimated in-state spending was about $30.7 million, according to the application. 

But the application was withdrawn for “a talent issue,” as the Michigan Film Office put it in the minutes of a March public meeting. That talent, Eminem, is busy elsewhere, according to the real Slim Shady’s camp. 

“He’s focusing on his music right now, so while he’s doing that, while he’s in that space, he wanted to put this on hold for the time being,” said Eminem spokesman Dennis Dennehy. (Detroit Free Press)
