Eminem is in talks to join the cast of a big screen adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler's 1900 play Reigen, according to reports.

Actors Sir Anthony Hopkins, Frances McDormand and Rachel Weisz are also in talks to star in the movie, entitled 360.

The film follows the stories of couples and their sexual encounters, and is being written by Frost/Nixon screenwriter Peter Morgan, reports Production Weekly.

Eminem made his box office debut in the semi-autobiographical movie 8 Mile.

He also made a cameo appearance in Funny People and was recently joined the cast of Entourage for a one-off episode.

In a recent interview, Eminem said he was too busy with his music career to think about acting but he would consider a return if the role was right.
