According to Variety, Eminem will co-produce a documentary titled “Stans” via his Shady Films. The title is derived from the rapper’s 2000 hit single “Stan”, which is now a term commonly used to describe superfans.
Reportedly, the documentary will drop later this year and will be directed by Steven Leckart. According to the film’s summary, it is 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.”
Eminem’s longtime manager Paul Rosenberg and Stuart Parr shared: “’Stans’ will be the opportunity for us to to turn the camera around and ask the audience about being fans — and in some cases, fanatics. 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.”
