Actor Johnny Depp is set to take on the role of late Los Angeles detective Russell Poole in a new film titled Labyrinth.
According to Screen Daily, Labyrinth will take its cue from a nonfiction novel of the same name penned by journalist Randall Sullivan.
The book takes a look at Poole’s investigation into the deaths of The Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur and the LAPD scandal surrounding the deaths of the two rappers.
Today (September 7) marks the 20th anniversary of Tupac being shot on the Las Vegas strip. He died from his wounds six days later.
Production for Labyrinth is scheduled to start later this year.
Brad Furman will direct the movie, which will serve as a Good Films production.
Russell Poole passed away a little over one year ago, following a heart attack.
The former detective once theorized that Suge Knight was behind the death of the Notorious B.I.G. Last year, it was revealed that Poole was reportedly prepared to apologize to Knight for attempting to pin Biggie’s death on the former Death Row Records CEO, but passed away before he was able to.
Hollywood putting out a movie surrounding the detective with the WRONG answers? This is dumb. Depp isnt even casted as the investigator that got the confession from Keefy D. Greg Kading put a bow on this shit.
for the love of hip hop, can we not support this?
Kading didn’t put a “bow” on anything, his theory is based on a BIASED LAPD finding, Poole had it right from jump..but the LA County DA office is afraid to bring charges
lol, Poole was nowhere near close. He admitted it himself eventually.
Poole didn’t know hat e was talking bout. He started taking things up when everybody and their momma in Compton knew what happened. Kading nailed it. Puff put the tag on Pac and Suge but the beating of Orlando kicked everything in motion. Suge put the bounty on puff and big. Poochie did that.
“Johnny Depp To Play Tupac & Biggie” would have been a way better article name. I was super bummed when I read the rest.
He was a good cop!.. Kading is full of shit don’t believe the shit he sayin! DO YA RESEARCH PEOPLE!! OR ASK BIG FRANK’S HOMIE @justice4pac on Twitter.
East Side Mob Bompton Piru’s vs South Side Compton Crips. That’s what it came down to. The two biggest gangs in Compton.
Nobody gives a shit.
