ALL EYES ON ME ...TUPAC BIOPIC HEADED TO THE BIG SCREEN

Last week marked the anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s death at age 25 due to complications after a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. Seventeen years after the prolific rapper’s slaying, a long gestating biopic is another step closer to fruition.

Morgan Creek Productions is teaming with Emmett Furla Oasis Films to co-finance and co-produce the delayed film, “Tupac,” according to Deadline.
The producers are working with a script by Eddie Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft, with a new draft expected, and aiming to begin production in February in Atlanta. According to Deadline.com, producers have the rights to use Tupac’s musical catalog.

While a biopic has yet to be made, Tupac was previously portrayed on film by Anthony Mackie in Notorious, the 2009 movie about the Notorious B.I.G.
