Eminem considered for Christensen's Jumper role

Director Doug Liman had lined up rapper Eminem to star in new movie 'Jumper' - but dropped him at the last minute in favour of Hayden Christensen.

The rapper - whose acting debut came in 2002's '8 Mile' - was first choice for the leading role in the science-fiction movie and was even in negotiations when Liman suddenly decided he preferred the 'Star Wars' star.
