John Kennedy from Vibe recently interviewed Eminem’s manager and 8 Mile exec producer Paul Rosenberg about the making of 8 Mile, digging up some fascinating facts about the decision making behind it’s production. Turns out 8 Mile was originally going to be a Rom-Com! Na, just pulling your leg. Things could have been very different though – apparently the film didn’t even have a name until the final weeks of shooting.

The list includes other such tidbits like the fact that both Slumdog Millionaire director Danny Boyle  and Quentin Tarantino were considered to direct the film, that the production team was forced by the city of Detroit to pay for the beautification of the block where the house burning scene was filmed, and that Nas’ Made You Look almost made the 8 Mile Soundtrack.

Read through all 8 factoids here.
