Eminem is set to star in a 3D hip-hop horror anthology entitled Shady Talez, it's been reported.

The rapper will also produce the horror movie, which is earmarked for release next year.

Described as a cross between The Twilight Zone and Creep Show, the movie will be produced by DJ Classicz.

Trade paper Screen International reports that a four-issue comic book series is to be released alongside the movie.

Shady Talez will mark Eminem's first return to the big screen since he starred in 2002's 8 Mile.

The rapper is currently recording the sequel to his 2009 album 'Relapse'.
