Eminem-Produced Documentary Stans To Get Theatrical Release; First Trailer Released

Eminem documentary STANS gets trailer

The first trailer has been released for the upcoming documentary STANS, which you can watch below!

Following its critically-acclaimed opening at the inaugural SXSW London earlier this year, the ambitious and unconventional new Eminem-produced documentary STANS will launch globally in cinemas, and the film offers a raw and riveting exploration of Eminem’s legendary career through the eyes of his most devoted fans. Steven Leckart directs the film.

Released in 2000, Eminem’s song “Stan” — about an obsessive, unstable fan — remains iconic. So iconic that the term stan was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 2017.

The song and its storyline serves as a guiding light for this unconventional and fully authorised feature, which follows a cast of real-life ‘stans’ whose deep personal connections to Eminem mirror some of the many themes found throughout his lyrics.

More than just an exploration of fandom, the film examines the complicated relationship between one of the world’s most private artists and his massive public persona. Through stylised 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.

The film delves deep into the emotional and transformative connection between Eminem and some of the superfans whose lives have been shaped by his music. AMC Theatres Distribution is leading the U.S. distribution of the film at more than 135 AMC locations, beginning August 7. Trafalgar Releasing will launch the film internationally on the same date, with 1,600+ theatres expected across 50+ territories.

Full screening details to be made available on the official film website stansmovie.com from Thursday, July 24 at 2 pm BST.
