    Pyrex Say His Name And He Appears

    Obviously we know that when the movie was first announced Em was signed on to play the main role but when scheduling of MMLP2 got in the way he had to focus on the album instead.

    And obviously he wouldn't have come anywhere near Jake Gyllenhaal amazing (Oscar nomination worthy?) performance.

    But if it had come down to it and MMLP2 had already been out by the time of filiming, do you think Em could've pulled off a respectable performance?

    He wasn't going to look like that in the movie. Actors generally don't decide what kind of shape they are in for a movie. The movie studio pays for personal trainers to get them into the shape they need to be for the movie.

    Jake didn't look like that before doing the movie. He was required to get into that shape.

    Yes. It wouldn't have been as great as Jakes job though. He has the ability to truly get in character and give such a real performance which I think is pretty rare in Hollywood.

    Well he be shirtless so that would've been all we need. Jake is sexy but Marshal's a god. And we would need more intense and longer sex parts.

    Wasn't he also involved in Have Gun Will Travel years back, or was that just a rumor?

    I'm sure he would've been great

    With this personality, he would've been obsessed with getting into shape and playing a great role

    But for the time it would've taken out of his schedule, I'm glad he continued with working on the album

    I felt like if he would have played Southpaw, it would've been 8 mile 2.

    He was going to be but I am pretty sure his addiction killed that. I still have the Detroit free press article with his picture taking up the entire page holding a snake. I can't remember if there was an interview in that article or not.

    That makes no sense. In what way would it have been 8 Mile 2.

    yes he could, but his lazy a--- decided to work on the "soundtrack" which took him few months to complete it lmao....at least if he played the lead role to that movie we would realize that he took time off from music and we would have more patience for him upcoming album

    Wrong. His "lazy a---" decided to finish MMLP2. Soundtrack came long after that. If he had acted in Southpaw, MMLP2 wouldn't have come out until 2015 probably.
