The new AMC show starts filming in just a few days and is set to take place right where the movie left off. The main character, B Rabbit (played by Yelawolf) has just won the rap battle and now is working with his mentor, Andre the Surgeon (no joke, played by Michael Jai White) to rise to the top.
"Think of it as 'Entourage' meets 'The Wire' with a dash of 'Friday Night Lights' says Phil Dietch, the shows head writer. "I have wanted to be Eminem every since that movie came out, its all I think about, so I wrote the pilot and after 3 years of hard work, here is my masterpiece".
Ice Cube is set to direct the pilot, which begins shooting next week.Yelawolf was unavailable for comment, but insiders say he is actually living with Eminem to learn the part.
The show is set to air on AMC Feb 19th at 6pm, right after Predatory Lenders: Exposed.
