"From the minute I saw this script, I really felt like this movie had the potential to be something special. We hope that you all do, too. Jake did an incredible job... Everybody in the movie is great in my opinion," Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, told his hometown fans.
The screening, also attended by several local boxers, was not announced as the rapper wanted to surprise his fans.
"The album is sick, too. The training montage is insane because of his music. It's an honour to have him even be a little part of the movie, but the fact he gave so much to it, we all gave our hearts to it. It's an honour to be even next to him," Gyllenhaal said.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by Kurt Sutter, the film also stars Forest Whitaker, and Rachel McAdams. Eminem has collaborated on the album for the film, scheduled to release on July 24.
