In an exclusive interview with MovieWeb, Mekhi Phifer took some time to remember making the classic rap battle drama 8 Mile alongside Marshall Mathers, aka Eminem, saying he still keeps in touch with people from the movie. While discussing his new film with Frank Grillo, Lights Out, Phifer also reflected on those from the cast who have sadly since passed away, such as Brittany Murphy, who died in 2009.
