Intense Trailer For the Eminem-Produced Rap Battle Film BODIED
Eminem has produced a new movie called Bodied, which is a satirical film that focuses on the intense hardcore world and art of rap battles. Today we have the first trailer for the film and as you'll see it definitely has that Eminem style and vibe.
The film was directed by Joseph Kahn, who helmed the film Torque and a shit-ton of music videos throughout the course of his career. He's directed music videos for Taylor Swift, Dr. Dre, Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, and of course Eminem.
Kahn developed the script for the film with former rap battle champion Alex “Kid Twist” Larsen. The story centers on a progressive graduate student who "finds success and sparks outrage when his interest in battle rap as a thesis subject becomes a competitive obsession."
The movie stars Anthony Michael Hall, Disney Channel alum Calum Worthy, and hip-hop personality Charlamagne Tha God. It also features Dizaster, Hollow Da Don, Dumbfounded, and Loaded Lux. Check out the trailer below and hit us up with your thoughts!
