Tupac Biopic Set To Begin Filming In Spring 2014

2

The long-discussed and well overdue Tupac biopic has finally set a shooting date of early 2014.

Producers and financiers Morgan Creek and Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films have announced plans to begin principal photography on the film next spring.

According to Billboard (via THR) the two companies held a reception for friends and supporters of the late, great hip hop artist at the Zanzibar in Santa Monica last Thursday where producer Randall Emmett confirmed the 2014 shoot is a go.

The Tupac film was original set to start filming back in 2011 after a lengthy legal battle between Morgan Creek and the rapper’s mother Afeni Shakur. Morgan Creek had sued Shakur, claiming she had continued to negotiate for creative control of the film after signing over rights to her son’s music and story. Shakur counter-sued, claiming she had no deal in place with Morgan Creek. But the dispute was settled out of court and Shakur is now an executive producer on the film.

Despite this development, there is still no word on who will play Tupac in the film or who will direct – stay tuned to DubCNN for more news.
