A Film Written By Tupac


Lisa Hobbs at Vibe reports that a film written by the Late Tupac Shakur is set to hit theaters. Besides scribbling lyrics, and detailed poems, the late rapper, actor and activist Tupac Shakur also penned several screenplays before his 1996 murder. One of the scripts, Live 2 Tell, is set to hit theaters by 2010. Live 2 Tell revolves around an ex-drug dealer attempting to get his life back on track after escaping a violent past. Shakur wrote the film while serving out his 1995 prison term for sexual assault. He had plans to play the leading role. Shakur’s mother and estate-holder, Afeni Shakur, sold the rights of the film to Insomnia Productions. According to Allhiphop.com, the film is set to be produced by Hustle and Flow producer Preston Holmes. Casting is reported to begin by early April. I think Afeni needs to hold on to all the Pac's material, besides that he had dreams of releasing and those films his-self so instead of her selling his stuff she needs to be looking for investors or getting distribution and trying to maintain ownership.
