It made its premiere at SXSW London. Stans explores the legendary rapper through the perspective of his superfans. The name is a nod to his 2000 song "Stan," which described "an obsessive, unstable fan," and became so popular the term was added to the Oxford English Dictionary some 17 years later. "'Stan' is one of the most unconventional songs ever written, where the story is mostly told from a fan's perspective, so this film was an incredible opportunity to find a unique approach. We kept coming back to one lyric from the song: 'I'm just like you,'" said Steven Leckart, who directed the project, in a statement. "Fans who echo that sentiment carry much of the film. But like the song, Marshall's perspective was also essential to the movie. I'm grateful for just how candid, sincere and frequently hilarious he was." Solve the daily Crossword

To close out the clip, he sits down for what appears to be an interview. 'What's your first question?' he asks. STANS is set to examine Eminem's iconic career through the eyes of his most rabid fans over his nearly three decades in the spotlight. Slim Shady's prominent collaborators contributed to the doc along with the fans, whom he provided the soundtrack to their lives. The documentary was based on the 2000 hit of the same name, 'Stan,' which arrived in May that year as the third single from The Marshall Mathers LP. Produced by 45 King, the storytelling track about an obsessive fan peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has more than 1 billion streams on Spotify. 'Stan' has even become common vernacular in the music world for crazed fans, as the word was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary in 2019. Eminem made his participation official when he took to social media in 2024 to call for his most diehard fans to get involved. In addition to Em's Shady Films, DIGA Studios, Fuqua Films and MTV Entertainment Studios are all on board as producers of the poignant documentary. Watch the STANS teaser trailer below.
