Eminem will co-produce a new documentary focusing on 'Stans' - a name given to obsessed music fans.
In 2000, Eminem released the song 'Stan' alongside Dido and it became a phenomenon. The lyrics and accompanying music video detail letters being exchanged between Eminem and an obsessed fan named Stan.
It has been named in Rolling Stones' list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Devon Sawa plays Stan in the music video, and he recently revealed that he got the part as the song's producer Dr. Dre was a fan of Final Destination.
The Stans documentary is being produced by Eminem's Shady Films, in association with DIGA Studios and Hill District Media.
Variety reports that the doc will be “a revealing, edgy, and disarmingly personal journey into the world of superfandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic and enduring artists, Eminem, and the fans that worship him.”
“‘Stans will be the opportunity for us to turn the camera around and ask the audience about being fans — and in some cases, fanatics,” Shady Films’ Stuart Parr and Eminem’s manager Paul Rosenberg revealed in a statement.
“This is a study of the relationship between fanbase and artist through the lens of one of Eminem’s most fascinating songs and one of the world’s most important entertainers.”
