Earlier this week new details on the upcoming biopic on the late rapper Tupac Shakur were revealed. The film has now enlisted Stephen J. Rivele and Chris Wilkinson as screenwriters for the film.
Both screenwriters are Oscar-nominated and have worked on films that include both Nixon and Ali.
New York Magazine reports that the film will focus on the days leading up to Tupac’s untimely death. The biopic will be directed by Antoine Fuqua and production for the biopic is expected to start late this year.
In other news, following a mediation session that took place yesterday (August 26) rapper Kanye West and former Death Row CEO Suge Knight still have not reached an agreement in a lawsuit that was filed by Knight.
Knight is suing West for $1 million following an incident that took place at an event held by West in Miami in 2005.
Hip Hop publication Hip Hop Weekly will celebrate their 100th issue with a special “All 3-D” magazine that will be released on August 31.
