Tupac biopic has started filming

[scarlxrd]

Dude looks just like Pac, it's eerie

The fact that I see the biggie from that terrible Notorious movie, that can't be a good sign. Plus these biopics usually have large amounts of history conveniently skipped over.

The casting of Biggie plus the name of the movie tells me it's gonna be trash. "All Eyez on Me" is such a small part of Pac's legacy/life, picking the album name as the title tells me the movie is gonna focus on all the wrong things.

So true

I wish Ryan Coogler would direct a Pac movie.

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?!!

They are trying to cast Madonna and '70's Black Panthers via instagram. Probably not the greatest sign.

All signs pointing to bust...

shyt is a money grab, I'd rather not have a Pac movie than some bullshyt

Edit: this Demetrius dude is not attractive

They're trying to be cheap as possible. Lol

This is what I'm saying, focusing on all the wrong things. If the Madonna appearance is anything more than a cameo it's a terrible sign for this movie.

IT IS A MISTAKE TO TRY TO COVER Pac's whole life in a two hour movie, it's just not feasible. I think the best way to handle a Pac biopic would be to start with his release from Rikers and end at his death (with flashbacks). This movie just seems like it's trying to do too much

Madonna being in the film is pointless. Just cover pac's life from 93-96. No flashbacks

Tupac Resurrection was enough for me. We don't need a movie.

The full impact of 2Pac can't be shown without covering some of his earlier works. 2Pacalypse Now and Strictly 4 My nikkaz was arguably Pac at his most revolutionary (Though "Strictly" may have been released in 1993, not sure), towards the end of his life he was making more party songs and shyt like Don Killuminati. A Pac movie that ONLY covers 1993-1996 wouldn't do him justice.

A Pac movie that didn't somehow cover his early Black Panthers influence (Afeni and all that) also wouldn't do him justice. Pac is just too eclectic to have a movie just focus on the last 3 years of his life, it wouldn't be thorough. That's why I think flashbacks are the way to go

That's fair enough
