Promoting this year's MTV Video Music Awards, the 'Love the Way You Lie' rapper remakes a scene from Marlon Brando's 1954 film 'On the Waterfront' as he is seen limping away from an enflamed car.
Eminem gets himself covered in cuts and bruises to promote 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. A new promo video for the upcoming awards has been released, unveiling that the 37-year-old rapper remakes a scene from Marlon Brando's 1954 film "On the Waterfront". In it, he is seen limping away from an overturned car right before it bursts into flames with a big explosion.
When met on the set, the "Love the Way You Lie" rapper said he didn't pay much attention to the details of the clip that features his song "Not Afraid". "They tell me that it's something for the VMAs, but I've been in my little rat hole. They just let me out to play," he said. "So I'm kind of like that hamster in the ball, when they let him out and he runs around in the ball. I'm in my little ball right now, running around."
At this year's Video Music Awards, Eminem collected the second most nominations with eight nods. Nominated in such categories as Best Male Video and Best Hip-Hop Video, he followed closely behind the leader of the pack, Lady GaGa, who broke record with thirteen counts. For the Hip-Hop Video, he is nominated for his collaboration with Drake in "Forever".
The ceremony of 2010 MTV VMAs will be aired live from Nokia Theater in Los Angeles, California, on September 12. Chelsea Handler has been tapped to host the event, while Eminem has been listed among the performers for the special night that include Justin Bieber as well as Kanye West.
