The Detroit legend Co-Producing Documentary about "Stan" Culture
Eminem is co-producing a documentary about the culture of superfans, which has since borrowed its name from the rapper’s 2000 hit “Stan.”
‘Stans’ is slated to be released via Paramount/MTV later this year, and is described as a “revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic and enduring artists, Eminem, and the fans that worship him.” Em’s Shady Films is co-producing with DIGA Studios and Hill District Media, while Paramount/MTV will serve as the distributors.
According to Variety, “’Stans’ will be the opportunity for us to to turn the camera around and ask the audience about being fans — and in some cases, fanatics. This is a study of the relationship between fanbase and artist through the lens of one of Eminem’s most fascinating songs and one of the world’s most important entertainers,” Stuart Parr and the rapper’s longtime manager, Paul Rosenberg, shared in a statement.
The film, directed by Steven Leckart (“Challenger: The Final Flight,” writer of “What’s My Name: Muhammad Ali” and writer and executive producer of the Hulu series “Legacy: True Story of the L.A. Lakers”), is slated for release later this year.
