8 MILE PICTURE GALLERIES
Eminem plays Jimmy Smith Jr. (a k a Bunny Rabbit), an angry, streetwise rapper from Detroit trying to make it big despite his perceived white-boy persona, spats with his unemployed mother (Kim Basinger), and his trailer-park upbringing.
Sounds like a biopic to us, but producer Brian Grazer says this isn't the real Slim Shady up on the screen. Regardless, director Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential) is said to have guided Eminem into giving a raw, honest, and powerful performance in his feature debut.
