We hope that you’ve you recovered from seeing Straight Outta Compton, because there’s another West Coast rap biopic in the works! While late legend Tupac Shakur had a brief stint in the N.W.A film, he’ll be the subject of All Eyez On Me, named after his 1996 album.
It has now been revealed that emerging actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. will be playing the rapper despite only having starred in one movie before – and it might have something to do with the fact that he really, really looks like Tupac. It’s pretty insane:
The film will be directed by Benny Boom, a man who has been responsible for music videos including Waka Flocka Flame’s ‘Hard In Da Paint, Nelly & Kelly Rowland’s ‘Dilemma’ as well as Nicki Minaj’s ‘Beez In The Trap’. Fucking huge! The film is also set to star Jamal Woolard as Biggie Smalls, having previously portrayed the rapper in2009 film Notorious. We are super keen for this one. See some preview pictures below and fingers crossed for a release date soon:
