The rumors that have been circulating for years regarding a Tupac movie can finally be put to rest. It has officially been confirmed that production for a Tupac biopic entitled \u201cAll Eyez on Me\u201d is currently being filmed in Atlanta, Georgia. \u00a0One of the films\u2019 producers, L.T. Hutton confirmed the film by recently posting several behind the scenes photos<\/a> from the set on his Instagram page.<\/p>\n

The film is being directed by Benny Boom and it will supposedly cover the rappers entire life including his death in 1996. Unknown actor Demetrius Shipp Jr. has been cast to portray Tupac and from looking at his pictures he is definitely a good choice as he bears a striking resemblance to the late rapper.<\/p>\n

Initially the film was to be directed by John Singelton(Boys In The Hood) but he stepped down from the project in April stating that the late rappers legacy wasn\u2019t being respected and that \u00a0there were attempts to sue Tupac\u2019s mother Afeni Shakur.<\/p>\n

L.T. Hutton refuted those claims and stated that Singleton was actually fired from the project. Singleton is reportedly working on a separate Tupac movie which he says will be much better than the film currently in production.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s hope that these claims aren\u2019t true and that the movie will pay homage to the late rapper\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts about the forthcoming biopic? Do you plan on watching?<\/p>\n
