Rap is finally getting the Ray treatment. New Line is developing Straight Outta Compton, an urban drama about N.W.A. (a.k.a. Niggaz With Attitude), the hip hop group that helped pioneer the gangsta rap movement in the '80s and early '90s. The project will chronicle the rise and fall of the rap quartet, founded by Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and MC Ren, whose songs were so incendiary (i.e. "F--- tha Police") they were banned from radio playlists but still sold millions of albums. Then came the inevitable fiery breakup, a grudge match between the former bandmates, and Eazy-E's tragic death due to AIDS. The film's producers, which include Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Tomica Wright (Eazy-E's widow), and Circle of Confusion entertainment, are now actively searching for a director along the lines of Curtis Hanson (8 Mile).

Ren will cleaarly be invovled, it's just common sense. Dre and Cube have Hollywood experience and pull. Thats why they on the forfront, but be sure Ren will be in it with actors and story etc...
-
Ren still shits on 90 percent of current rappers
Yeah Ren Aint Left Cuhz, Still Holding Down For Tha Hub,
bUT Man A NiCCa Need To bE Starring This Shit lOL
-
damn MC Ren still a nobody almost
He DID have a platinum solo album. He's not a nobody, he's just fallen off in the last few years and you can't compare him to megastars like Cube and Dre.
He's probably going to be involved somewhat in this film. Producer means the people who finance the film. I'm betting he doesn't have 150 mil like Cube and Dre to spend producing this film.

-
ill believe it when i see it
-
Damn that would be a dope movie!! Keen as fuck. Yo whats the Dre biopoc those excerpts are all from?
-

-
If dres involved we can expect a dope sondtrack at least. Just want the movie to hear the soundtrack lol

They legally can't portray him in a movie without his permission. So I'm sure he's getting some cut of the film.

great 8)
-
we need a update on this project. ;)
-
Everytime Andre and O'shea plan something, nothing happens.
Helter Skelter = :(
NWA - Not These Niggas Again = :(
Ice Cube signing with Aftermath = :(
Ice Cube rapping on Detox = :(
-
is this the same movie?
-
^ Imagine how Yella feels.
Imagine how Arabian Prince feels...
anyway this should be a classic if Dre and Cube are signed onto the project. Be interested to see if all the parties involved will be able to get along, because it seems like Tomica Wright has made business difficult in the past.
But as with anything with dre's name attatched, I won't believe this is true till they actually start filming it.

I also thought the Ice Cube directed ESPN documentary "Straigth Outta LA" was quite excellent, & that considering I ain't following football at all!
But about a movie, the fact that the original members of the band are involved ought to be a guarantee that it remains as close to the facts as can be. Not to mention their sons could very well play the roles of their fathers: some of them REALLY DO looke like their folks in their 20's.
