John Singleton knew Pac and I find it unbelievable that the studio wanted their version of him over John's.
Also how are they going to have Biggie from Notorious come back but not bring back Suge or Dre from Straight Outta Compton?
John Singleton did not know Pac. They just did one movie together.
shareDo your homework before making stupid statements. Tupac and Singleton were actually very good friends (it doesn't matter how manny movies they did together). You could find a LOT of videos which shows these 2 together.The only reason Singleton didn't do this movie is because these s-holes who finally did ''All eyes on me'' movie, took 2Pac mother to court when she said she don't want for these ppl who actually don't knew her son and have some wierd idea for the movie, to do this movie. These ppl scam their way in court to aloud them to make this movie in certain time period before they lose copyright licence for these movie. Some time back Afeni (Tupac mother) aloud some third party ppl to have copy rights for certain Tupac tracks for certain time period when Singleton was in the picture to do the movie. But then Singleton get's out because these ppl want to made ''make believe'' 2pac story instead of real potrail of Tupac. These s-holes who now made this movie find out about that and team up with these ppl who had copy rights and then actaully extort Tupac mother in court that they have right to do this movie until this date expired, so court agree for them to do this movie in that time period. Afeni credits in this movie is only to scam ppl, so ppl would think they got Afeni's blessing to do this movie. This movie will be one big disaster which would contain only some moments which ppl already knew and read about that in tabloids and will not have any reall historic value or real portrail of Tupac .. I mean,these ppl sued Afeni Shakur, Tupac mother, to make Tupac ''Bio pic'' ?! How f..ed up is that?!
Lucky for us, John Singleton have blessing from (late) Afeni Shakur and Tupac sister to do REAL Bio movie of Tupac Shakur after these ''All eyes on me'' disaster be over.. This movie from Singleton i'm going to see. I'm not giving 1 cent to these ppl who took Tupac mother to court to do a movie abot the man they never met or knew! All they want is some fake recognition like ''see us we made Tupac movie'' , nevermind they took his mother to court.
Btw., John Singleton is a friend with most of Tupac relatives and most of his friends and will have the exes to most of Tupac material and aspects of Tupac's life.
Thank you for the information. I just saw the new trailer and to be honest, it kinda spoke to me, they chose the actor well. But still, I can't help but be sceptic about it. They might actually capture him well - not that I could tell, since I didn't get to know him, but what I admire about him, the will to speak up and address certain issues, to fight for what he believes in, talking sense and straight from the heart so it makes you think 'finally someone who just tells it as it is, why are we listening to people in the media talking shit all day?'. But how can these people do him justice if they used the methods that you describe? It's not possible.

(this BS went for manny years; these morons extorting Tupac mother in court with various scams at court and out of it.)
Tupac Bio Pic based on a story presented by ppl who sued Tupac mother! imagined that!
Only because she didn't want for them to potrayed her son the same way as tabloids did, which was ''make believe'' life story that never happened and some events that did happend were extremley sugar coated and had nothing to do with a reality..
Wow, thanks for the link. It's sad that they actually succeeded. People need to boycott this movie.
And the movie from Singleton that you talked about, will it definitely be made, or is that not yet decided?
After Afeni (Tupac mother) died last year, status of Singleton's Tupac Bio pic is not known at this moment. Singleton did say he'll made Tupac movie which Tupac deserves after this fiasco be over. But for now there is no date. I hope Singleton will move his ass in high gear soon after this ''Pac movie'' will played out and start preparing for his Tupac BioPIc.
(in case, if he finally decided not to make a Tupac biopic movie, i'll be extremely disappointed at him on so manny levels, so i really hope he's good on his word)
Btw. try to find and see this Tupac documentary :
Tupac Shakur - *Thug Angel (The Life of an Outlaw)* DVD = 2xDVD
I said DVD because there is a lot of extra material in it which made this Thug Angel doc. so powerful. You need to see all the extra these 2 DVD's offers, not just the main video, this way you'll get the whole experiance and more clear picture about Tupac. There is no better Tupac BioPic then this complete 2DVD doc. to this date; and i doubt it will be.
That sounds fantastic, I'll try to get it! Thanks for the recommendation. :-)
shareCorey Hawkins was probably doing that King Kong movie while they were filming. I don't know why they didn't bring back the actor who played Suge.
shareAlso how are they going to have Biggie from Notorious come back but not bring back Suge or Dre from Straight Outta Compton?
