Eminem is attached to star in a contemporary feature adaptation of the CBS series "Have Gun, Will Travel" for Paramount Pictures reports Variety.
Studio has extended an 18-month option on the property to develop it as a dramatic action vehicle for the rapper, and has already put it on the fast track to production. Debuting in September 1957, the TV Western starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter-for-hire.
Concept will be updated to contemporary times and see Eminem playing a bounty hunter. Some characters will be based loosely on ones from the series, and there will be nods to certain story points from the show.
