Eminem almost cast for lead role in "Jumper"

According to the director of the movie Jumper which just came out in theaters yesterday, Eminem was actually considered for the lead role that was eventually given to Hayden Christensen. Doug Liman director of Jumper and other fast paced action films such as Mr. & Mrs. Smith and The Bourne Identity states "We did have a meeting. We did have conversations with Eminem. [The idea to meet with the rapper] was sort of coming from the producer and [Eminem's] manager," remembered the director.

Of course the role eventually went to Christensen of Star Wars fame and in the meantime Eminem completley disappeared from the Hollywood scene. This is the second film in the past couple weeks that we have learned Eminem was in talks with. The other being the heavily rumored Grand Theft Auto - The Movie. Personally I thought Eminem did a decent job on 8 Mile and wouldn't mind seeing him play a different character. Of course we also wouldn't mind another album coming out. Come on Em don't catch the Dr. Dre "Detox" disease!
