Following STANS limited theatrical run (Aug. 7-10 in AMC Theatres and Aug.11-14 New York AMC Theaters), the Eminem-produced documentary, directed by Steven Leckart, will debut on Paramount+ in the U.S., Canada, Latin America and Brazil on Tuesday, Aug. 26; the UK, Australia, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria will have to wait one more day. Stans won’t be available on Paramount+ Japan until Oct. 3.
Eminem’s massive hit song “Stan” turned 25 this year — Slim Shady was only 28 when the single (and its album, The Marshall Mathers LP), were released. The song about an obsessive (and crazy) fan is so iconic that it actually spawned the addition of the term “stan” to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017.
Stans follows a cast of real-life Eminem super fans; you decide if they’re nuts or not. The feature-length doc “examines the complicated relationship between one of the world’s most private artists and his massive public persona,” per its logline. “Through stylized recreations, rare archival footage and intimate original interviews, it offers a raw, loud and revealing journey across Eminem’s career — and the passionate audience that has grown with him.”
“’Stan’ is one of the most unconventional songs ever written, where the story is mostly told from a fan’s perspective, so this film was an incredible opportunity to find a unique approach,” Leckart said in a statement. “We kept coming back to one lyric from the song: ‘I’m just like you.’ Fans who echo that same sentiment carry much of the film. But like the song, Marshall’s perspective was also essential to the movie. I’m grateful for just how candid, sincere, and frequently hilarious he was.”
Stans, from Shady Films, premiered at the inaugural SXSW London earlier this year. In addition to Slim Shady, his manager Paul Rosenberg executive produces alongside Stuart Parr, Antoine Fuqua, Tony DiSanto, David Schiff, Bruce Gillmer, Amanda Culkowski and Michael Maniaci. DIGA Studios, Fuqua Films, Interscope Films and MTV Entertainment Studios produced with Em’s own banner.
Paramount Plus has just released a full-length trailer for the film. You can watch it below:
