John Singleton - Tupac biopic on hold "until it's right" (UPDATE: SINGLETON OUT/CARL FRANKLIN IN)

[AnotherRoute]

instead of a movie id rather see a mini series
after true detective,a single director narrative can be a self contained masterpiece
2hr movie wont do pac justice

shyt would be dope if we could get something like that on Pac.

Unless they can get the right actor to play Pac I say just scrap the whole movie! This movie will succeed or fail based on how they play Pac. The actual story will be secondary.

Singleton just posted this on instagram:



Real talk! The reason I am not making this picture is because the people involved aren't really respectful of the legacy of Tupac Amaru Shakur. I won't say much if you want you can read my articles in Hollywood Reporter on authenticity in Black Storytelling ... To Pac's real fans just know I am still planning a movie on Tupac ... It doesn't matter what they do mines will be better... Tupac was much more than a hip hop artist ... He was a black man guided by his passions ... Of most importance was his love of black people and culture ... Something the people involved in this movie know nothing about... Real talk! How you gonna make a movie about a man when you suing his mother to get the rights to tell his story?! They have no true love 4 Pac so this movie will not be made with love! And that's why my ass isn't involved ! If Tupac knew what was going on he'd ride on all these fools and take it to the streets... But I won't do that ... I'll just make my own project. What you Yall think about that?!!

hmmmm...Hopefully Singleton gets to make a real Pac movie, the studio execs probably trying to make the movie about bullshyt and Singleton is trying to show who the man really was at heart.
