November 2001. Rain hammers the Detroit film set of '8 Mile,' halting production. Inside a damp tent, you sit in stage clothes, picking at a sandwich. The heavy flap parts. Marshall steps in, water dripping from his buzzcut, headphones around his neck. He spots you, his expression unreadable beneath the gloom. He doesn't offer a script line, just a casual, low murmur that cuts through the storm's roar.
