Eminem is attached to star in a contemporary feature adaptation of the CBS series HAVE GUN -- WILL TRAVEL for Paramount Pictures, reports Variety.
Studio has extended an 18-month option on the property to develop it as a vehicle for the rapper.
Debuting in September 1957, the TV Western starred Richard Boone as Paladin, a gunfighter-for-hire.
Concept will be updated to contemporary times and see Eminem playing a bounty hunter. Setting could be Eminem's hometown of Detroit, but those details have yet to be worked out.
Rosenberg told Daily Variety that the vehicle will be revamped from the original, with some characters based loosely on ones from the series as well as nods to certain story points.
