6 settembre - Un po' di news: Il singolo CLEANIN' OUT MY CLOSET uscirà il prossimo 16 Settembre. Il film 8 MILE verrà presentato al Festival di Toronto martedì 10 Settembre. DETROIT - Eminem's cinematic debut will showcase not only the rapper but also his hometown. "8 Mile," filmed entirely in the Detroit area, will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival as a work in progress, with Eminem and director Curtis Hansen expected to attend. "Detroit is an art director's dream," Los Angeles-based Phil Messina told The Detroit News during the shooting. "There's so much great stuff to shoot here architecturally — hand-painted signs and great colors. You could do a coffee-table book just on Detroit architecture alone." Eminem plays a rapper caught between ambition and anger. The festival begins Thursday, and the film opens Nov. 8. Oscar-winning actress Kim Basinger also stars.  Tribute-Minded Toronto Fest Kicks Off TORONTO-The shockwaves of last year's terrorist attacks on America nearly ruptured the Toronto International Film Festival, as filmgoers and filmmakers alike turned from the silver screen to the small screen as the horrible events unfolded on TV. This year's film fest, which kicks off Thursday and goes through September 14, runs over that tragic anniversary, and organizers have added special events to memorialize and comfort the wounds left behind. On September 11, festival screening rooms will remain dark until 11 a.m., and business will be suspended for the morning, explains festival director Piers Handling. Given the scope of the tragedy and the way it impacted last year's festival, Handling says an acknowledgment was important. Filmmaking is often about contexualizing memory and experience, and so that day's galas will include The Guys and 11'09'01. The Guys, with Sigourney Weaver, tells the story of a New York fire captain who lost eight men when the World Trade Center collapsed, while 11'09'01 is a compilation of shorts from 11 international directors (including Sean Penn) documenting their look at the attack and its aftermath. But the festival, the largest in North America, is also about celebration, and this year's 27th edition is no exception. Featuring cinematic works from 50 countries, this year's festival spotlight will shine on 345 films (21 more than last year) and includes the world premiere of Eminem's first film, 8 Mile. The controversial rapper--whose performance has set off a surprisingly positive whisper campaign--stars along with Kim Basinger, Mekhi Phifer and Brittany Murphy in the semiautobiographical story of a wannabe white rapper trying to make his way in Detroit's tough mid-'90s hip-hop scene. Academy Award-winner Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential, Wonder Boys) directs. Creepy Canadian director David Cronenberg will unspool his latest exploration into the dark recesses of the human mind in Spider. Unlike Arachnophobia, Eight Legged Freaks or Spider-Man, this film is about the crawling things in the mind of title character as he slowly uncovers the truth of his mother's murder. Fellow Canadian Atom Egoyan kicks things off Thursday evening with the North American debut of Ararat, his controversial story of the Armenian genocide. Among the other entries drawing plenty of pre-fest attention: the movie adaptation of the bestseller White Oleander, starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Renée Zellweger; Paul Thomas Anderson's latest, Punch-Drunk Love, with a serious Adam Sandler; Far from Heaven, starring Dennis Quaid and Julianne Moore as a couple torn apart by an affair; Neil Jordan's crime flick The Good Thief with Nick Nolte as an aging burglar; and Between Strangers, a drama starring Sophia Loren and directed by her son, Edoardo Ponti. As usual, Hollywood and even India's Bollywood will be dimmed for 10 days as the stars arc across the horizon and descend on Toronto. This year's stellar soirees will be lit by the likes of: Sandler, Loren, Weaver, Pfeiffer, Nolte, Catherine Deneuve, Dustin Hoffman, Susan Sarandon, Pierce Brosnan, John Cusack, Heath Ledger, Sissy Spacek, Denzel Washington, Robert Duvall, Antonio Banderas, Kate Hudson, Ben Kingsley and Tim Curry, along with a galaxy of India's cinematic demigods as the Toronto fest salutes the world's largest movie machine.

14 settembre - Presentato a TORONTO, il film 8 MILE ha ottenuto un'ottima accoglienza e recensioni decisamente positive. La colonna sonora del film uscirà il prossimo 29 ottobre. A causa del linguaggio e di certe scene, il film uscirà in USA con la classificazione "R".
