Tupac's posthumous discography is well-documented. Now, fans may receive a posthumous Tupac movie.

Titled Live 2 Tell, Tupac wrote a film screenplay during his prison stint in 1995 for sexual assault charges.

According to wooha.com, the story centers around a drug kingpin trying to leave the drug game. The script has been circulating in Hollywood since 2005, shopped by the late rapper's mother, Afeni Shakur.

The synopsis reads as follows: "A charismatic young man at the dawn of adulthood spirals down the wrong path in life and is brought into the underworld by his once trusted mentor, only to become one of the most powerful and feared kingpins in the city. Eventually his conscience gets the better of him and he is driven to self redemption in life… and love."

Currently, the rights to the movie are held with Insomnia Productions, producers of the HBO series "Rome."

The film is slated for what is being called a "very tentative" 2010 release.

Reading the synopsis, I gotta say this sounds shit, been done before, but will make $$$ off the 2Pac name.

Afeni should do a 'I Get Money' remix.

It might be Tupacs words/ideas but who ever directs it means it will basically be there intepretation.
