Randall Emmett, who is working on the untitled Tupac Shakur movie. During their conversation, Emmett provided plenty of new details including when they’re planning to start filming, how they’re approaching Shakur’s life, having his mother Afeni on board to executive produce, how they’ll incorporate the East Coast/West Coast rivalry, and more. Hit the jump to learn some new details about his long-awaited movie.

A Tupac movie has been in the works for some time, and Emmett revealed it’s much closer than we previously thought:
That project is being put together for a June start date. We’re still worth Morgan Creek and co-financing with them. Open Road is our U.S. distributor, still, for domestic. The script is great and we’re ready to make the movie. We’re just prepping the logistics.
Emmett laid out the plan for how they’ll structure the movie, and how they’re planning to honor his memory while still being “real and raw” about his life:
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… 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. We want to be real and raw, about the things and the gangster life that he was involved in, growing up in the way that he grew up, but we also want to honor the talent that he had because he really was, in my opinion for sure, one of the greatest talents

This is no Lifetime Film; Tupac’s music will be laced throughout the biopic. They have secured the rights to Tupac’s music through Morgan Creek and will share 50% of the rights
