Tupac Biopic Coming Soon
Training Day director, Antoine Fuqua revealed to Digital Spy that he’ll begin production on a Tupac biopic this fall. No word as to who’ll play the rapper nor release date.
“It looks like we’re doing Tupac Shakur’s movie next in September, that’s what I’ve been starting up and working on now,” he said. “I’ve been working on that for a while with Morgan Creek and Jim Robinson. I just got the greenlight from him and we’re going in September. I’ve just started to prep that.”
“That’s the goal, I want to discover someone new,” he explained. “I want to discover a lot of new people if I can. Obviously I’m going to have to put some people in it that you know, just because actors have different skills. I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world.”

It was supposed to be Jada Shakur lol jkin Will jkin lol
First the new album and then this?
Let the man rest in peace, his work is being over-saturated… Imagine 20 years from now, no Tupac records, and then there’s a huge collection… That shit would go diamond
Now, with all these little projects, it’s just too much
RIP Big Homie
Missed forever
I didn’t see the biggie bio pic. i won’t see the tupac bio pic.
register and contribute
@ Chris Searl… he made the music so he could bring the message not so it would go diamond… plus when was his last album released… and I mean real official Tupac album??
I’m sure it will be better then Notorious just because of the director, Training day is a new age classic, Denzel was the ultimate Crooked Cop in that
I wonder who will play Pac tho, nobody working in films that resembles him at all……
As long as pac isn’t played by fucking anthony mackie I’m good.
@ Teejay
lol……I kinda liked that dude in hurt locker…….I have no idea, but I hope its not someone with no acting experience, like gettin Gravy Fat as in Notorious just cause he looked like him
SMH
I hope they do pac right.. Cus notorious was piece of shit and very un-accuratte..
@drucifer
Nah he was great in the hurt locker, but he was a shitty tupac, didn’t look or act like him. Only thing appearance wise him and pac had in common was they they were both short black dudes.
Thought they covered everything in Tupac Ressurrection
not only was notorious one of the worst rap movies, it was one of the worst movies period
puffy i mean who the fuck was that guy, shitty actor and biggie lets not get started
hope this is better than that
Is it gonna be a documentary or a Acting movie like Notorious??
I hope it’s like Notorious, but Better..lol and get someone who looks more like Pac then that skinny ass fool in Notorious (wanna-be Pac) Lmao
R.I.P. Pac!!!!
Pac’s gone, but the music lives FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
errbody gonna go crazy when this biopic comes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! best rapper ever no question about it!!! I have to watch this!! Pac has influenced me in many ways and other people too!!!!! R.I.P Pac I’ll always miss u!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nortoios movie wasnt that bad to me
Lmao @ all the comments on here. I feel bad 4 goin 2 c Notorious opening day last year (hey, I can admit it lol) I’ma huge hip hop fan and I had 2 c it. Anyways, this movie has 2 be done right or they might as well make it str8 2 dvd…oh, and Notorious WAS terrible now that I think about it, and Anthony Mackie should not be allowed to play a rapper EVER again 4 the rest of his career…
Who Shot Ya?
I think fredro starr would make a good PAC….rampage could be suge since he got f*** up last night….n arsenio hall could b puffy lol
i really don’t think there is a nigga walking the streets that could pull tupac shakur off. i really don’t. there are so many elements to that nigga… so many sides, conflictions. everything from look, body language, demeanors, voice… no matter who they get, it’s gonna fail by default. i really don’t think that shit can be done.
and even further, if they don’t open up his roots and what was beneath and all around his so-called thug image, (i’m talking about black panther party, his LEADERSHIP in the New Afrikan Panthers) and all the nation building theory behind what the media misconstrued as just juvenile delinquency, i’ma be pissed the fuck off.
he was one of the last prophetic voices in rap to the black community. i don’t wanna see no expose on his troubles with the law, beef with bad boy, and his two shootings.
4 words, DON’T FUCK IT UP!!!!!!
Seeing what they’ve done with the Kurt Cobain movie – Tupac’s going to be played by Robert Pattison with blackface makeup.
Pac > Biggie
Antoine Fuqua would have to be completely off his head to fuck a movie up.
He has never ever fucked a movie up.
It’s great that he’s doing this biopic, and that they’ve got a great writer for the NWA biopic.
It seems as if they were watching to see how the Biggie biopic can be improved.
Notorious was Ok and it was basically a final R.I.P. to Biggie—Notice how there’s no more albums being released.
Biggie never made that much music, Pac on the other hand was crazy, they say he made about 800 songs total… now that’s something and it’s not like waynes songs about nothing in particular. Pac had a message in each and every one of his rhymes so don’t confuse shit with these new mixtapes being pushed out every week or so.
i would love 2 c this film but thats like trying to find some1 2 b like Jesus and im not talkin bout Mel’s version. I dont think they will get this completed, its gonna b a hard task. Their will never b anutha Pac even if u tried to act like him. Denzel deffintely bought Malcolm X alive again so its possible but i doubt my man of Training Day and BKFinest can pull this thru. Im doubting cuz i wanna b surprised like WOOOOOW!
[…] should they go the Biggie route and search for someone a bit more unknown? Source: Digital Spy via RR Related Posts:Tupac movie stuck in legal […]
can’t wait to see it…if they pick the right person to play Pac then i expect to see compassion, oppression, emotion, and over the edge thuggish type wildness because that’s exactly what he was…i miss this nigga dearly like everyone else…its just sad that he had to die just to get a piece of happiness…R.I.P. T.H.U.G. 4 L.I.F.E.
youtube Tupac Justin Delano
Check this kid out…he can actually act!
I hope they don’t make up some falls facts of tupac’s life and also hope they pic a good actor for the role, in the notorious big movie, the dude that played tupac was so far from acting like him and personally he made tupac look like dumb,week,punk…it was a bullshit movie.
Check these out and let me know what you think. Your feedback is greatly appreciated…the good, bad, and the ugly…its all love.
