Eminem’s “Phenomenal” was used in Netflix’s “Fistful of Vengeance” movie

On February 17, 2022, Netflix released “Fistful of Vengeance” movie on their platform.

The film is about a revenge mission that becomes a fight to save the world from an ancient threat when superpowered assassin Kai tracks a killer to Bangkok.

In one of the scenes, the movie uses Eminem’s “Phenomenal” track, the first song released from the Southpaw Soundtrack, executive produced by Shady Records in 2015.

The song represents protagonist Billy Hope’s (Jake Gyllenhaal) struggle after his wife’s death and the loss of his daughter to child services.

The film’s narrative was inspired by Eminem’s struggle throughout his early career. Eminem was originally in the title role, but after putting the film on hold in 2012 to focus on his music, Jake Gyllenhaal joined on.

Halsey to make a movie inspired by Eminem’s “8 Mile”

A movie about a pop singer Halsey’s life has been in the works for three years now but it was delayed cause she fell in love with Alev Aydin, a screenwriter who was supposed to write the movie.

Back in 2018, Deadline reported that Sony Pictures closed a life rights deal with the singer/songwriter to develop a film loosely based on her life, inspired by Eminem’s “8 Mile” movie with Halsey starring as herself.

As Alev and Halsey’s relationship strongly developed, now the reports say the shooting will start at the end of this year.

Sony hopes the movie acts as a launchpad for Halsey’s career, similar to what 8 Mile did for Eminem. If you’re familiar with 8 Mile and Halsey, this might sound like a stretch. But, along with their respectively troubled pasts, Halsey and Eminem seem to share a disdain for the mainstream while existing within it.
