After the unprecedented success of biopic films for stars like Marilyn Monroe, Selena, and even more recently TLC, it seems that films depicting the lives of our favorite celebs are in high demand. If you are a fan of  the late and great hip-hop rapper Tupac, then you will be all smiles as early as next year!

According to Billboard.com, The Tupac biopic has finally set a shooting date with the plan to begin principal photography on the film next spring.with producers/financiers Morgan Creek and Emmett/Furla and Oasis Films. 

The supporting companies were said to have held a reception for friends and supporters of the late , great hip hop artist, Tupac Shakur, at the Zanzibar in Santa Monica last week where producer Randall Emmett confirmed the 2014 shoot is a GO!

Originally the Tupac film was  set to start filming back in 2011 after a lengthy legal battle between Morgan Creek and the rapper’s mother Afeni Shakur, Morgan Creek had sued Shakur, claiming she had continued to negotiate for creative control of the film after signing over rights to her son’s music and story. Shakur counter-sued, claiming she had no deal in place with Morgan Creek. But the dispute was settled out of court and Shakur is now an executive producer on the film.

Still no word, however, on who will play the slain rapper in the film or who will direct. So this shall be interesting, stay posted with PINK POWDER ROOM BLOG as this story develops!
