2 febbraio - '8 Mile' DVD Features Rap Battles Between Eminem And Movie Extras. DVD features appearance by porn star Gina Lynn, 'Making of "8 Mile"' documentary. If your 10 bucks went to the $116 million "8 Mile" made at the box office, then you know that some of the most entertaining scenes in the Eminem flick were the rap battles. Come March 18, you'll be able to revisit those lyrical face-offs when the "8 Mile" DVD hits stores. Included in the 25 minutes of deleted scenes from the movie will be five spontaneous rap battles between Eminem and audience extras, shot during the making of the movie. Director Curtis Hanson ("L.A. Confidential") introduces and describes the scenes, according to a Universal Pictures spokesperson. And if that's not intriguing enough, the DVD will also be the only place to see Eminem's video for his latest single, "Superman," which features a cameo from porn star Gina Lynn. The DVD won't include the videos for "Lose Yourself" or 50 Cent's "Wanksta," two of the "8 Mile" soundtrack's biggest hits, but it will feature a documentary called "The Making of '8 Mile'." The movie, which also features Brittany Murphy, Mekhi Phifer and Kim Basinger, made $51 million the weekend it opened in November, the highest debut ever for a first-time lead actor. MTV NEWS: Sembra che Eminem riesca a istigare reazioni violente in qualsiasi situazione. L'attesa per il suo concerto scozzese (24 giugno, Hampden Park, Glasgow) è così intensa che sabato mattina, 1 febbraio, il manager del negozio incaricato di vendere i biglietti ha chiesto l'intervento della polizia per contenere la rabbia dei fan del rapper americano, delusi per non essere riusciti ad accaparrarsi uno dei preziosi ingressi. Fin dalle prime ore della giornata centinaia di ammiratori del controverso cantante avevano sostato davanti al Virgin Megastore di Glasgow nella speranza di acquistare un biglietto. Il negozio ha aperto alle 9 di mattina e in 40 minuti sono stati distribuiti ben 40.000 ticket. Verso le 11, però, si è dovuto sospendere la vendita perché i computer, sovraccaricati di richieste, non hanno retto e sono saltati. A quel punto si è scatenata la rabbia dei fan delusi, tanto da richiedere l'intervento della polizia per riportare la calma. La capacità attuale dello stadio Hampden Park è di 52.000 posti. Intanto, Oltreoceano, gli ammiratori del platinato di Detroit hanno di che stare contenti: il 18 marzo uscirà in Usa il DVD di "8 Mile", contenente 25 minuti di scene inedite fra cui 5 battaglie a colpi di rap fra Eminem e alcune comparse dell'audience. Se questo non fosse abbastanza, sul prezioso dischetto sarà incluso il nuovo video "Superman", che vede l'apparizione straordinaria della pornostar Ginger Lynne (che si vociferava fosse l'ultima fiamma di Mathers). Inoltre, anche se non ci saranno i clip di "Lose Yourself" e "Wanksta" (entrambi sulla colonna sonora), sarà presente un 'Making of 8 Mile'. Per noi poveri italiani, invece, sarà il caso di aspettare, visto che la pellicola - campione d'incassi in Usa e UK - approderà nelle nostre sale proprio qualche giorno prima della release del DVD negli States.
Eminem stars in 8 MILE coming to DVD and VHS March 18, 2003 - Exclusive never-before-seen DVD bonus features include:
Five Eminem rap battle outtakes
New Eminem music video "Superman"
and much more...

2002 Golden Globe Nominee ("Best Song")
Multi-Grammy-winning, best-selling multi-platinum recording artist Eminem burns up the screen with "an undeniably charismatic performance" (Christy Lemire, Associated Press), in director Curtis Hanson's (L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys) searing 8 MILE, coming to DVD and video March 18, 2003, from Universal Studios Home Video. The DVD will include Academy Award(R)-winner Hanson's groundbreaking critically acclaimed film, along with additional bonus features created specially for Eminem fans by Universal Studios Home Video. The DVD version is priced at $34.95 (S.R.P.). The VHS version is priced for rental. To bring 8 MILE to the screen, Academy Award(R)-winning producer Brian Grazer (A Beautiful Mind, Apollo 13) and legendary rock-and-roll music producer and Chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M, Jimmy Iovine, joined forces, each intent on transcending borders and discovering the dramatic potential of hip-hop, never before explored on film. Grazer notes: "I've been interested in hip-hop for more than 20 years. That's what made me want to learn more about its roots." The producer goes on to say, "I became interested in Eminem several years ago. He wasn't a star at the time, but I felt he had enormous charisma and that he could be explosive as a film star." Iovine, Dr. Dre and Paul Rosenberg had wanted to make a hip-hop film but nothing connected until they met Grazer. According to Iovine, "We kept hitting the ball and Brian Grazer was the first guy to hit it back." Along with Eminem comes a remarkable cast that includes Oscar winner Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential), as Stephanie, the down-on-her-luck but ever- hopeful mother to Eminem's Jimmy "Rabbit" Smith, Jr. 8 MILE also features strong supporting work from an acclaimed roster of young actors, including Mekhi Phifer (Impostor, O), Brittany Murphy (Don't Say a Word, Riding in Cars With Boys) and Taryn Manning (crazy/beautiful, White Oleander). 8 MILE stunned both critics and audiences with a combination of Eminem's emotionally raw big-screen debut and the film's account of one man's efforts to transcend his existence along 8 Mile Road, the city's dividing line between urban and suburban, between black and white. In the hands of director Hanson, 8 MILE is a provocative fictional examination of a critical week in a young
man's life as he searches for his identity and a sense of purpose. As Oscar(R)-winning producer Grazer says, "It's about finding your own way, what really makes you happy, pursuing your dreams and not letting your talent go to waste."
"LOSE YOURSELF" IN ELECTRIFYING DVD BONUS FEATURES
The 8 MILE DVD contains special bonus features for millions of 8 MILE and Eminem fans, including "The Making of 8 MILE" and the following exclusive, never-before-seen footage, available in both censored and uncensored versions:
- Five "Rap Battles" shot during the making of 8 MILE that feature
spontaneous rap performances between Eminem and audience extras from
the film.
- The music video for "Superman," from the best-selling album "The
Eminem Show," available only on the 8 MILE DVD.
NORTH AMERICAN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR MARKETING SUPPORT
Universal Studios Home Video will support the release of 8 Mile on VHS/DVD with a North American multi-million dollar media campaign that will heighten awareness through television, radio, and Internet advertising, generating over one billion consumer impressions.

10 febbraio - IL NUOVO: Eminem, 8 mile per realizzare un sogno. La Detroit periferica, il mondo dellle sfide tra rapper, le aspirazioni di un giovane musicista. Di tutto questo parla il film di Scott Silver, tra un mese nelle sale italiane. “The Mo.”, “la grande D”, “la città degli omicidi”, ovvero Detroit. E’ qui che è cresciuto Eminem. Ed è in questa fredda città (magnificamente resa dalla fotografia bluastra di Rodrigo Prieto) che è ambientato il film che lo vede protagonista. 8 mile è la strada che segna il confine tra la città e la sua periferia, tra bianchi e neri. Eminem, o meglio Jimmy Smith, abita in un container lungo quella borderline, è cresciuto in una “black comunity”, lavora in una fabbrica dove la maggioranza dei lavoratori sono afroamericani e i suoi amici sono rapper. Lui rappresenta un caso raro nel mondo del hip hop, perché è un bianco dall’insospettabile talento per un genere creato e praticato da musicisti neri, ossia possiede un’inconfutabile capacità di concepire rime al ritmo degli scretch del dj. L'aspetto più interessante del film è l’indagine intorno alla singolarità dell’hip hop, genere nato e diventato celebre come terreno di gioco di moderni menestrelli. Non a caso la storia è ambientata a Detroit, che dietro le sue miserie (disoccupazione, degrado ambientale, tensioni razziali) nasconde una lunga e fertile tradizione musicale, dalla Motown, storica etichetta del soul, al “Detroit sound” di rocker come Mitch Ryder, fino alla scena hip hop. Improvvisazione, ritmi veloci, scioltezza nel linguaggio, capacità di cogliere al volo una situazione: sono tutte le doti richieste ai rapper come Jimmy, detto B-Rabbit, che si esibiscono in sfide all’ultima rima (rigorosamente ingiuriosa e gergale) nei club di periferia. La cinepresa a mano diretta da Curtis Hanson dimostra di tenere bene il ritmo dei match di rap girando intorno ai protagonisti, indugiando sui loro volti e fotografando la folla in giubilo. Le guerre tra gangs si conducono con le armi della poesia di strada anche se talvolta vengono preferite le armi tradizionali e gli screzi si trasformano in drammi, come succede anche alla combriccola di B-Rabbit. 8 mile racconta la voglia di emergere di Jimmy, di uscire dal ghetto insieme ai suoi amici. Una storia che è frutto della fantasia dello sceneggiatore Scott Silver ma che ricorda molto la biografia di Eminem, cresciuto a Detroit tra disagi economici, conflitti familiari e un’autentica passione per l’hip hop. Dei suoi problemi con la madre ormai è a conoscenza il mondo intero, dopo la pubblicazione di brani come My name is e Cleaning out my closet . A interpretare la figura ambigua della madre, bellissima, alcolizzata e incattivita, una bravissima Kim Basinger. Ma anche Eminem dimostra di avere buone doti attorali incarnando i diversi umori di un giovane che di volta in volta appare spaesato, fragile o aggressivo.

11 febbraio - YAHOO NEWS: Kim, a 50 anni ancora grinta e sex appeal. Ultimamente sembra divertirsi a interpretare ruoli di donne alla deriva, ma lo stesso non si può dire della sua carriera. Dopo qualche anno di relativa eclisse, l'Oscar per l'affascinante prostituta di L.A. Confidential ha rilanciato le sue quotazioni e Kim Basing er ha ricominciato ad affacciarsi sempre più spesso sul grande schermo. Per la gioia dei suoi fan, e sono ancora tanti, che non hanno mai dimenticato le sue performance ad alto tasso erotico nel celeberrimo Nove settimane e 1/2. Da allora sono passati sedici anni e la sua bellezza, seppur inevitabilmente un po' stropicciata, riesce ad essere ancora conturbante alle soglie dei fatidici cinquant'anni (che compirà fra pochi mesi). E infatti in 8 Mile, in uscita a marzo nelle sale italiane dopo uno strepitoso successo al botteghino americano, si concede ancora il vezzo di una fugace ma intrigante scena erotica. Nel bel film diretto da Curtis Hanson (regista anche di L.A. Confidential) Kim è una madre fragile e insicura, dedita all'alcool, innamorata persa di un ragazzotto idiota che ha la stessa età di suo figlio, costretta a vivere in una miserabile roulotte nella devastata e violenta periferia di Detroit. Una madre alla deriva che il giovane aspirante rapper Jimmy Jr., un bravissimo Eminem (e proprio alle controverse vicende della sua vita si ispira il film), cerca invano di salvare da se stessa. Un personaggio non molto lontano da quello che Kim Basinger si appresta a portare sugli schermi in Door in the Floor, un dramma familiare che vedrà l'attrice al fianco di Jeff Bridges. Tratto dal romanzo A Widow for One Year di John Irving, il film ricostruisce la storia di una famiglia distrutta dalla morte di due figli in un incidente stradale, raccontata dal punto di vista della figlia più piccola, diventata ormai donna e un'affermata scrittrice ma incapace di superare i tanti traumi di un'infanzia infelice trascorsa in compagnia di due genitori oppressi dai sensi di colpa. Il film, diretto dall'ex giornalista Tod Williams, dovrebbe entrare in produzione prima dell'estate.

17 febbraio - YAHOO ES: Jimmy Smiths Jr. ( Emimen ) es un joven rapero de Detroit que sueña con triunfar en el mundo de la música. Pronto, sus canciones se vuelvan más y más agresivas a causa del odio y la tristeza que siente por su vida, su familia y por el mundo que le rodea. De esta forma consigue llamar la atención de las grandes productoras, que terminan por convertirle en una superestrella del hip hop y del rap. Una vez alcanzado el sueño de su vida, ¿qué le queda por hacer? Crítica: En Detroit, la 8 Mile marca un límite, una especie de frontera para sus habitantes: más allá de esa milla se extiende una zona marginal en la que no resulta nada fácil sobrevivir. Curtis Hanson toma prestado de la realidad este argumento y lo utiliza como metáfora que marca la existencia del protagonista de su cinta, Jimmy `Rabbit´ Smith Jr. ( Eminem ). Así, a Jimmy, que vive más allá de la 8 Mile, son más de 8 millas las que le separan del éxito como cantante y compositor de hip hop: tiene un largo y costoso camino por recorrer. Y a golpes es como Hanson nos adentra en el duro mundo del rap: a golpe de compases -uno, dos, tres, cuatro-, a golpe de estrofas reivindicativas, a golpe de traiciones, a golpe de golpes. Una vez hemos descubierto el extraño y, por qué no, peligroso entramado de reglas que rigen ese poco conocido mundo del rap, hace acto de presencia Kim Basinger . Hay que decirlo con propiedad, la genial Kim Basinger, porque nos encontramos ante una exhibición de su talento. Nos olvidamos de aquella poco brillante 'novia extraterrestre' para ver aquí a una mujer maltratada por la vida y por ella misma. Es decir, estamos ante una auténtica actriz que da lo mejor de ella misma. En cuanto a Eminem , a muchos les gustaría creer que esta superestrella del hip hop no tiene ni idea de actuar, como ha ocurrido en otras ocasiones con cantantes que se pasan al cine. Pero el caso es que el chico no lo hace nada mal, la verdad. No es como para optar a premios de interpretación ni nada por el estilo, pero Eminem cumple su cometido muy correctamente. Y por lo que al aspecto musical se refiere, él es compositor de bastantes de los temas de la banda sonora, que cuenta con la colaboración de Obie Trice o Gangstarr, entre otros, además de con relajantes sorpresas como el corte de Macy Gray 'Time of my life'. EMPIRE: After splitting up with his girlfriend, aspiring white rapper Jimmy lives on the poor side — the black side — of the 8 Mile divide in Detroit with his single mom. While working at a steel pressing plant, Jimmy tries to work up the nerve to enter the local rapping ‘battles’ and earn some respect. Let’s get this over with: 8 Mile is the rap Rocky, the hip-hop Saturday Night Fever. But just because comparisons are easily made does not make them uninstructive. Lest we forget, both Rocky and Saturday Night Fever were instant pop classics, shrewdly engineered yarns of personal triumph set against a harsh, blue-collar landscape. And, like boxing in Rocky and dancing in Saturday Night Fever, rapping in 8 Mile possesses redemptive power — raw talent will always out. In fact, the chief difference in this case is that the charismatic leading actor is not in need of an iconic moment. Eminem is a star already. As Jimmy, Eminem does not invite sympathy easily. Often hooded and perpetually wearing a cap and scowl of some description, he keeps the audience at a safe distance. The camera does not love him (Rodrigo Prieto’s unforgiving camera loves little in the steely, blue bleakness of Detroit) because his power must be carefully guarded, much like the music which we hear only fitfully for most of the movie. Of course, in the best Rocky tradition, 8 Mile demands a climactic showdown. However, when Jimmy is called to ‘battle’ against a rival rapper, the punches cannot be pulled; for the movie to work at all, Eminem’s natural skills must finally break free. Without giving anything away, the manner of Jimmy’s triumph is one of the most exhilarating scenes you will see all year. And yet Curtis Hanson has crafted too nuanced a movie to close on an unambiguous high. This is not The Karate Kid. Indeed, in the closing moments, it becomes clear that the organising myth of 8 Mile is perhaps not Rocky, but Shakespeare’s Henry IV Part I. Jimmy is Prince Hal, the king in waiting, who must stop slumming in low company and strike out on his own if he is to ascend to his rightful throne. From Rocky I to Henry IV — it really is that good. Following L.A. Confidential and Wonder Boys, this makes a remarkable hat-trick for Hanson and is a personal triumph for Eminem. As MC Hammer might say — U Can’t Touch This.
