The producers of Tupac: Resurrection, including Afeni Shakur, have decided to begin filming 'Pac's first screenplay sometime next year.
Preston Holmes and Ivan Juzang's NStar Studios will spearhead the production with Afeni Shakur who will be acting as executive producer. As a matter of fact all three have worked together previously to produce the 2003 documentary Tupac: Resurrection. According to Variety, Hustle and Flow producer Dwight Williams will also be joining the production team.
"[2Pac] was a genius, and the net of it is, he was from this community, he knew the struggles these young people were dealing with," Juzang told Variety. "And he's able to talk to young people in 2011, 2012, the same way he was able to talk to young people in 1995."

It has been reported that the film will follow the story of a teenage drug dealer attempting to escape his life of crime. This will be interesting to see how they will make this story different from similar stories. Another intriguing thing to note is that how and why has this been potentially sitting on someone's shelf for about a decade and a half...food for thought.
One thing is for sure, it will definitely have to be unique with a touch of authenticity. When it all boils down the audiences will definitely be patiently waiting to see what comes from this project.
