Tupac Biopic "All Eyez On Me"

[RickyRich]

The upcoming film based on Tupac Shakur's life is due to begin production in June.

The announcement of production on the Tupac biopic is becoming something of an annual news article. With that being said, this time it seems to be for real. Producer Randall Emmett has confirmed that the long-awaited film on Tupac Shakur's life will begin filming in June.

What may have held the film back -- and for good reason -- is earning the rights to use Pac's original music, something that has been detrimental to biopic's past (the infamous Aaliyah Lifetime film among them). Thankfully, we will be hearing Shakur's work in the movie, which will follow him through his early years, to his mainstream success, and ultimately to his untimely death.

While there have been plenty of documentaries (of varying quality) on the late rapper, this marks the first venture into recreating Shakur on film, and will surely be a tough casting process.

Watch the full interview with Randall Emmett below.

The Hughes Brothers were only 20 when they made Menace II Society

 

[dalyricalbandit]

Biggie's was wack

Aaliyah's was Doo doo grits

TLC's was garbage

yea its safe to say this is going to be a let down.

no actor will be able to play Pac's role and make it seem believable

 

[Nah Son]

Watching movies about people that youve seen so often on tv and feel like you know them and the way they act and talk is awkward most of the times. Like when Will Smith played Ali I was just sittin there like nah

 

[RickyRich]

i feel they should leave thisone alone .

 

[eternal soldier]

Oh boy..

 

[nickel-us P]

If kobe could act and was shorter

 

[Ilike2get baked]

The Only Way This Will Work is if John Singleton directs it...his name isn't on it I'm not watching.

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

I'll watch it along with that NWA joint but I dont expect anything more than to be let down... Black Hollywood lazy as fuck at casting it seems, cause they dont even be trying to get people that look similar

Maybe its just a problem with making biopics with people who have been so over exposed, their real lives were movies.

Or maybe its just hard to find black folks that look alike and can act... I know if they did a Madonna movie or something any ol white bitch could play her and it'd probably be pretty believable.

 

[Idiopathic Joker]

Drake can play 2pac

Lmao ya feel me shit was straight Lifetime movie status. Only thing good was Naturi's titties

 

[jee504]

what's the casting looking like?

just off the top of my head, the obvious things that need to be included is the black panther influence, digital underground, getting shot, going to jail, of course Biggie, Death Row.

Its gonna be difficult to compact all of that into a movie.

I think the documentaries on Pac are good enough. I mean we pretty much know everything about him.

Thats why yall will never get good biopics bc yall so considered w/ what they look like. Get a good unknown actor in there, shave his head, go from there. First thing nggas be concerned about is the exact look and wonder why the movie sucks.

Denzel dont look like Malcolm x. Dude playin MLK dont look like him (even tho im not a fan of him as an actor, him and the movie are oscar nominated)

 

[BarryHalls]

Get a good unknown actor in there, shave his head, go from there.

Hire this dude
