Eminem Was Almost In Jumper, Apparently

You’ve probably seen trailers for Jumper – the new dimension-leaping movie starring Darth Vader and Billy Elliot – and you’ve probably decided not to go and see it because it looks hopeless.

But ask yourself this: would you have gone to see Jumper if the Hayden Christensen role was played by Eminem?

No. No you probably wouldn’t. But that didn’t stop Eminem from having discussions with director Doug Liman about starring as the lead in Jumper in the preproduction stages. Although it’s impossible to tell what Jumper would have been like if it had Eminem in it, we’re guessing that it probably would have been reset in Detroit and been about a plucky wannabe rapper instead of Darth Vader driving buses through a desert.
