According to Variety, Steven Leckart’s new documentary Stans (working title) is being co-produced by Eminem (who coined the term “Stan” in his 2000 song describing fanatical superfans) via his Shady Films and in association with DIGA Studios and Hill District Media. The film’s initial distribution will come from Paramount/MTV and is set to be released later this year.

The film’s synopsis describes it as 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.”

Speaking on the film Shady Films’ Paul Rosenberg (who is also Eminem’s longtime manager) and Stuart Parr have commented the following: “Stans will be the opportunity for us 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.”

DIGA’s CEO, Tony DiSanto, said of the film, “Stans will explore the complex relationship between fame and super fandom, told through the lens of one of the world’s most iconic artists, Eminem, his music, and, especially, his most extreme fans.”
