Speculative film project; severely fails WP:CRYSTAL. Apparently, it hasn't even been written yet; according to this source, somebody "is set to begin writing immediately and will reportedly turn in a draft in February. No word on a possible release date or when production may begin." Contested PROD. Glenfarclas (talk) 21:26, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect/Merge of any sourced information to Eminem#Acting career where this is already mentioned. Per WP:TOSOON this topic does not yet have enough coverage to merit being an exception to WP:NFF and so is not ready to be an independent article. And as WP:CBALL does specifically allow discussion of future projects if sourced, we can simply redirect to where this where it is already mentioned.

No, no, no; delete as way TOOSOON, and there's nothing to merge. There's supposed to be a film some day, yes, but there isn't one yet. First draft not even due until Feb. 2011, then everybody has to like it, or wait for rewrites, then casting, etc., all before any actual filming takes place. Nothing to see here. — JohnFromPinckney (talk) 23:41, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The redirect/merge will delete the article from mainspace... and as as it is ALREADY mentioned in Eminem#Acting career, a redirect will simply send readers to the one place within these pages where it has a contextual mention. And yes, once the film is scheduled and cast and begins filming and gets coverage... then we might consider an article. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 01:18, 17 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

^What do you mean consider? Pfft. Then there WILL be an article, but I guess for now it should be deleted.
