A Tupac biopic was originally greenlit for the company back in 2011, with Antoine Fuqua (Southpaw, The Magnificent Seven) signed on to direct, but the project fell apart after some fatal miscommunications.
The film came back together, entitled All Eyez on Me, in late 2015.
All Eyez on Me will likely see a buzz-heavy summer release; now it’s just a matter of whether or not the film can match its hype.
Fans have undoubtedly been eager to see a Tupac biopic come to light for years, so it’s wonderful to see this project finally get a release.
