The other question from a writing standpoint, is what part of his life do you focus on? I'm not a huge pac fan but I am a fan so a die hard fan would have to answer that question for me. I feel like the best biopics focus on a part of the subjects life as opposed to trying to cram everything into 2 hours

Whoever the actor is, he has to bring his A game.


:camby:At the thought of Anthony Mackie and Michael B. Jordan playing Pac.

Imagine someone who could properly capture the essence of this energy on the big screen



That's my God of War :to:


I think they could play the serious parts and emotional parts just fine,but Pac was goofy as shyt too:heh:...I don't know if either one could do the goofy side though,Mackie failed to come off natural at all in Notorious but I don't know how much time he put into it,and him trying to do that voice that still didn't sound like Pac I think made it harder on himself than if he would've used his regular voice:mjlol:

Michael B Jordan had that comedy out with some white dudes recently that I wont be watching,so I don't know how well he does goofy...but I think getting a serious actor that can get the goofy part down would be more difficult...including the fact Pac was a very specific lookin nikka you narrowing your list of options like a mafuka:heh:

if they could capture his young life on up to his rise and fall then rise again, that will be dope.

Why not make the first double disc movie:banderas:..one movie covers his early life and the 2nd covers his time from when he got famous:pachaha:...I don't see how u could fit it all in one 1:30-2 hours movie but maybe that's bcuz I know too much...but TLC got 2 hrs on VH1 if I recall correct,Pac go have 2 hrs too:comeon:

you gotta cover the early years being panther trained having the feds kicking in doors,digital under ground years,the shooting in marin,juice,the shooting in NY,rape accusation and jail time,he did get married unless they gon just act like that didn't happen it would be disrespectful to disregard her all together imo:heh:, his time on deathrow has to be covered,east coast west coast beef,and then his murder....his family tree is pretty important and I think it would be disrespectful to not give them proper partial credit in who he was....even tho Panthers long overdue for they own big budget block buster film,but that's another story:rudy:...maybe when everybodys through telling the storys of all the maids and slaves and butlers:mjlol:.

Is Floyd Mayweather to play tupac??:ohhh:

"Experiencing an emotional connection in the streets of Las Vegas with Academy Award Nominee, filmmaker, John Singleton AKA @shaft6816 where Tupac Shakur was murdered. We've been meeting since last year about working together on some future projects."






Floyd may be able to pull it off:ehh:

Its times like this that make me sad. Two actors that could have pulled this roll off both tragically died. Lamont Bentley and Merlin Santana.

Maybe they would have been too old by now anyway, oh well
