Tupac Shakur Biopic Movie Filming In June 2015? Film Producer Says Rapper's Mother Afeni Is On-Board, Songs Will Be Used

While some (or most) of us have doubted that a Tupac Shakur biopic movie project would ever come together, it looks producer Randall Emmett is looking to prove us wrong! According to the filmmaker, a current Shakur biographical film project is on track to start filming in June of 2015. In fact, Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur, will serve as executive producer on the project and the rapper's music will be featured in the movie. In other words, this movie is looking very promising!

In a new interview with Collider, Emmett hopefully put to rest any doubters out there that thought a Tupac biopic was impossible. In fact, considering the film can use Shakur's songs is a huge plus! Many biopic movies suffer from not having the rights to the subject's creative works.

So what can we expect from this movie?

"I think our story, especially like a lot of biopics in the hip-hop space, will at least tease the beginning of his life, kind of tease his beginnings and kind of the people around him, then go into the key years leading up to the pinnacle of his success-those three or four key years of his rise, and the empire he built," the movie producer said, according to Smoking Section. "He really defined it and paved the way for a lot of the great hip-hop artists we have today. We want to honor that, and that's what we're trying to do."
