Now this is what I'm talking about...NWA Biopic in the works!!!
Back in 1996, New Line Cinema took a risk green lighting a film called Set If Off which featured the film debut of a one Andre Young AKA Dr. Dre playing the role of Black Sam. Since New Line gave him that initial opportunity, Dre has been kicking it with New Line ever since. He signed a production deal with the studio a couple years back and now his first major project has finally been announced, a N.W.A. biopic. Our studio sources at New Line say the film, called Straight Outta Compton, has been in development stages for awhile now but with the Biggie movie, and announcements of a Tupac flick and a Run DMC one as well, it was time for New Line to go public. Under the current deal structure, the film would be a three-way production deal with Cube Vision (Ice Cube’s production company), Dr. Dre and Eazy-E’s widow Tomica Wright. All three have current production companies which leaves Ren and Yella with a smaller piece of the pie.
You talk about hip hop history, young fans of hip hip MUST know the story of how NWA (love 'em or hate 'em) truly changed the game. I hope they tell it like it is...or was!
