NWA Movie Are Revealed (PICS)

    Monday, 16 June 2014

25 years ago, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E and Ice Cube were three of the central figures of the inaugural movement of gangster rap that was N.W.A. Today (June 16th) after five years of planning and delays, the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton finally has confirmed their first actors for the roles of the three N.W.A. leaders.

Reports surfaced that Marcus Callendar will play Dr. Dre, Jason Mitchell will play Eazy-E and in accordance with Cube’s wishes, his son O’Shea Jackson Jr. will play Ice Cube in the film. Dr. Dre originally desired for Michael B Jordan to play him, however Jordan’s upcoming filming of The Fantastic Four movie conflicted.

Jackson Jr and Callendar have never starred in a film and Mitchell starring in four films from 2011-2013 with 2012′s Mark Walberg-led film Contraband being his biggest role.

Check out pictures of the three actors set to play Dr. Dre, Eazy E and Ice Cube:

==================
I wonder if Ice Cube ever got back to Suge after Suge told him to because he still owns the N.W.A. name?

Dude looks nothing like Eazy E.

How come they're not taking real actors? Like known actors!!

I disagree.  Obviously he doesn't have the right hairstyle but facially there is definitely a resemblance.
I also think it's better that they use relative unknowns in a role like this.  Sometimes in films it can be difficult to imagine a famous actor portraying another famous person in the right way, and in using lesser-known people it can be less distracting in that respect.

That's not Eazy's character, it's Dre's. I think the one playing Eazy has his mouth structure. Once they add the locs, the hat and the jheri curl he'll look just like him.

Not sure about the other ones. Maybe they haven't been cast yet. Can't say these guys aren't real actors they are just unknowns. It would be difficult to get established actors who also look just like the characters. Do you expect Denzel to Play Arabian Prince? lol

Did i photoshop the wrong dude, haha,

^Yes you did but please do the other guy!
