Ice Cube Produced N.W.A. Biopic “Straight Outta Compton” Gets A Writer

[LevelUp]

The Hollywood Reporter reports that the planned Universal Pictures movie will be written by Jonathan Herman, who has written several movies for the company as of late.

The N.W.A. movie follows the lives of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, MC Ren and Arabian Prince (who was only a part of the group for a brief time) during their rise to fame in the 1980′s.

Veteran video and film-maker F. Gary Gray is still reported to be attached to the project as the film’s Director.

naw just misguided by the devil.

If anything, Heller's gonna be the one depicted as the villain... but it ain't like Eazy did anything to stop the fukkery that took place, so he was just as guilty in that matter. Either way, Cube made peace w/ dude before he passed... but if it's gonna be told the way it went, Eazy had just as much a hand in it as Jerry. They share that.

It's not right having a movie about NWA from Ice cubes perspective.. We need Dre on there as well. And the thing is that they will probably not wanna shyt on Eazy and they'll not wanna shyt on themselves.

Dr. Dre and Eazy E's ex wife are also involved with the movie.

Cool, perhaps I should've read the article before I spoke.

Cube and Eazy made up a couple of months before he died.
