Tupac Is Gonna Be In "Straight Outta Compton".....

[Jerz-2]

Straight Outta Compton isn’t out until Aug. 14, but that doesn’t deter excitement. Some of N.W.A—Ice Cube, MC Ren, DJ Yella, and maybe Dr. Dre—will band together for a reunion performance before the BET Awards on June 27. Naturally, each of the five original members will be in the film. And we know versions Snoop Dogg, Warren G, and Suge Knight will pop up in the film, too.

We also now know that the era’s preeminent West Coast rapper, Tupac, will be in Straight Outta Compton, EW has confirmed. Ice Cube posted an Instagram photo on what would have been the late rapper’s 44th birthday Tuesday, mentioning “the Tupac scene” was being filmed that day. But it was vague regarding if someone playing the rapper would actually appear.

A Universal spokesperson tells EW that Shakur will be played by actor Marcc Rose, who shares a very strong physical resemblance to Makaveli, as seen above.

The extent of Rose’s involvement in Straight Outta Compton is currently unknown. However, despite rumors, he is not currently attached to Carl Franklin’s Tupac biopic, his rep tells EW.

Only way I see this working is if dre walks into atl and 2pac recording where he screams out g-funk...which also means Dr should get a decent amount of screen time and they might venture off into the solo projects.

The article (at the link) got pics from dude's Instagram page (can somebody post those?)...he does kinda favor Pac, but you gotta be more than just a lookalike, you gotta actually capture Pac's ESSENCE.

Not sure if there's someone who can do that to the satisfaction of the hip-hop populace...and that's the problem with making a Tupac biopic.

If Bone IS in it, I question if they'll even have lines of dialogue. They'll likely just show them in the studio in the background or summm......

i feel like to be Pac you'll always be treading on the line of overacting. His personality was just that big. it'll be impossible for an actor to make Pac believable on screen
