Judd Apatow has lined up quite the cast for his upcoming comedy "Funny People," and he even recruited some stars for some brief appearances.

As you can see in the photo (posted by MTV) above, rapper Eminem is also part of the cast. It's still unknown what role he will play exactly, but this shows he will have an encounter with the film's lead character George Simmons (Adam Sandler).

Simmons is a standup comedian whose life changes after he has a near-death experience. The cast also includes Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Leslie Mann, Eric Bana and Jason Schwartzman, among others.

"Funny People" looks really funny, and it will hit theaters July 31, 2009. Check out the trailer right here. Eminem's last big-screen appearance was in "8 Mile."
