City of Lies is based on the non-fiction book Labyrinth by Randall Sullivan which covers the investigation into BIG’s death.
Good Films Productions, the company behind City of Lies, did not respond immediately to the Guardian’s request for comment.
City of Lies – a crime film starring Johnny Depp and Forrest Whittaker, about the investigation into the death of rapper Notorious BIG – has reportedly been pulled from theatrical release a month before it was due to come out.
The film had a difficult production process with Depp allegedly assaulting a crew member, former location manager Greg “Rocky” Brooks, on set in Los Angeles.
