as much as i love pac they should pull the plug on this project because its obvious they dont want to do it right ,so dont do it at all. we got plenty of documentaires on the guy and they are releasing more of his music .

I agree. I really don't want them to do one. Just leave it like it is cuz I don't think there's any actor out there that can pull off playing Pac accurately. I don't feel like watching s2000ome biopic with a sorry script that doesn't live up to his name. This man is an icon in my eyes and it will piss me off tremendously if the complexity of his soul is not portrayed correctly. Plus, I think I read somewhere that his estate won't allow the use of his music which means they'll have to use covers. I don't want that. Its like you said, I will be satisfied with the documentaries and videos of his work. Tupac Amaru Shakur RIP.

That's the same stance that his mom has expressed about preserving his music the thing with people today is there is no one who has achieved the level of success and influence in this business like tupac has so what you have is alot of people who are oppurtunists just looking for a way to get recoginized and they will leach off of more successful people then themselves to get there . Just look at lil wayne coming out and self proclaiming himself the "New Pac" he doesn't even measure up to the old pac its just leaches like that is the reason to keep this idea on the shelf for now .Maybe wait another decade before we see it on screen as much as it pains me to admit it i say it out of love respect and admiration for this man his work and all he stood for in terms of his art . His producer is actually putting a documentary about the last 7 days of his life it sounds more interesting then this film here .Also i think before we make a 2pac film we need to a make a film clarifying the seriousness of the coastal beef that was going on at that time .People still don't have all the answers about that they also dont understand how deep it had gotten by the time biggie and pac both died .The best part about it their stories its a classic whodunnit now if they could just spin it and make it interesting and entertaining .I mean when you look at all the people involved everyone had a motive to want both men gone from this world its crazy.
