Tupac x Morgan Creek. After the release of Notorious and the recent development of the Run DMC biopic, details have surfaced that production company Morgan Creek is stuck in a legal battle with Tupac’s mom over the movie rights to Tupac’s life story. Morgan Creek, which has produced movies such as Get Carter and Two For The Money, is suing Tupac’s mothers company Amaru Entertainment, alleging that Amaru has backed out of an agreement to sell Tupac’s life rights for a film adaptation.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Morgan Creek and Amaru Ent were in talks as early as December to bring Tupac’s life story to the big screen. However, details of the contract and negotiations began to break down in January once Notorious was released. Because the movie underperformed at the box office, a rift between the parties developed shortly after probably due to minimum guarantees and cut of box office gross points.
So what does this all really mean to the Tupac fans? It means for better or for worse, we will not be seeing an officially endorsed Tupac movie anytime soon. Word is that many of the big studios are afraid to touch the project right now in fear of being sued for the many outstanding issues currently on the table and there still is a pile of paperwork to clear Tupac’s songs for licensing use. So there you have it. Props to In My State of Mind for the heads up.
Am I the only one happy that this is NOT going to happen??
YOU are an idiot 2pac s movie would do better in the box office and it would be more interesting
Ummm… not a fan of either. BUT I will say this, Tupock was NOT the greatest, not even close.
tupac is still the KING of rap
man fuck that.. tupac was the greatest.. he wasnt afraid of death and talked about dieing all the tha time, he was a real ass nigga, as quoted “live by the gun, die by the gun” he was living tha thug life, biggie looked up to tupac in tha beginning and learnt from tupac.. biggie did set him up thats why pac came out with hit em up.. they need to stop fucking around and bring out tha truth and make that damn movie
I totally agree with JD… a pac movie should of came out tiiimmee ago. The biggy movie was bullsh!t! tryna make out his wasn involved in pacs death.. plz.. truth b known it was a set up. Envious fat b!tch. Im glad he got his ass licked, he was goin on way 2 varse sayin ‘i made it, im the greatest’ – HA! 2pac was and STILL IS the greatest & always will be. Standard.
tupac is the best of all time study him remember him live threw him
Sorry to put your fire out but according to most of the greatest Rappers, “2pac was is and still is the greatest”. You should say something that the biggest rappers would disagree with. That makes you ignorant!
i just realised my comment is gunna get read over and approved. please sensor out the rude language, not remove it. that guy just really peeved me off. so i expressed dat anger. please just put ** over them or something!
cheers!
RIP Tupac! we all miss you!
Smh I can tell ur not a fan for neither or u can’t even spell the man name the right way . And he wasn’t a good or the best rapper , who was it then Garth brooks !
you a damn fool
Fuck off faget i suppose ur someone who thinks kanye or jayz is? U wouldnt know what was good or bad fag
fuck you nigga thug life bitch
such your bitch ass up and finish 6th grade.
fuck you…your a fuckend lire
They can make a movie about a fat F#&K with no talent. The true artist is still hidden.
thats true they can’t make a movie about a ffat F*&K w/NO talent cuz TUPAC SHAKUR is the best thing that ever happened in this world. it’ s a shame that they won’t be publishing the GREATEST RAPPER who ever lived. FUCK j.MAFIA &biggie. R.I.P [Rest in Power] Tupac Shakur
There's a reason that film bombed at the box office. Biggie sucks ass!
I dont think it bombed. It didnt cost much to make you figger.
[...] mother, Afeni Shakur, has released an official statement in response to production company Morgan Creek’s allegations that Afeni has backed out of a deal to produce a Tupac biopic under the Morgan Creek production [...]
Tupac wasn't portrayed right in Notorious and I feel that it is only right to tell HIS side of the story. Biggie was cool but Tupac was the GREATEST
they make it look like Tupac killed biggie, they need to rewrite the movie and let every one tell their story.
Lil, Kim should have her say, Tupan friends should have their say, every one that was around with them both in that time should have their say it all.
the moveie only tells you about Biggie, what about the other people round him.
there's allways two side to a story!
biggie aint got shit in pac so i wish they make a 2pac movie i will see it over and over again i mean come on yah its thug life baby! 4 me pac teach me a lot thor hes music yeah sure it mad me go crazy but at the end it mad me b strong and look 4 a bright day so i say lat them do hes movie
Listen, that whole beef sh*t was gassed up to the extreme. First of all, the movie notorious, in no way shape or form suggested that tupac or anything pertaining to him Killed BIG. Why can’t you give credit where it is due? Even if you aint feelin someone’s vibe on a jam dont mean you gotta dis em. Do you know how much work it is to be an artist, and how much talent it takes to make it? It irritates me to see that people can be so ignorant that they will tarnish someones name because they favor the other side of a “beef”. I loved Tupac’s lyrics, he was most def a genious who probably does deserve a movie made about his life. Biggie deserved the movie as well, He had an awesome flow and his story was interesting. Back then I listened to both of them, even through the gassed up “beef”. IMO Puffy had Biggie killed for profit, and Tupac got shot by some crazy ass fan (his or biggies who knows) Kill that noise you spittin about who was wack and who was GOD in hiphop, because Tupac and Biggie Both Idolized other Artists before them, and most of yall dont know music from what you listen to. Get a f**kin education, stay in school, from my point of view yall are wack.
On the actual subject..Biggie’s mom had no problem letting Notorious come out, and so it did, and that is great.
If Tupac’s mother doesn’t want to put out a movie BASED ON his life, that IS her decision. Tupac Resurrection came out and she was happy with that. But again Just My Opinion.
smokey said it…too on point. i cant believe people are still comparing them to one another, they’re both still the greatest. Some people need to recognize whats up
@Smokey, Amen!
Both are insperations to most of todays society world wide, why not have a movies from both sides? Biggie’s Movie was insperational and i’m sure when Pac’s comes out it will also be insperational…Remember they were good friends once upon a time and I believe if they were still alive today they would of eventually put their differences behind them and done something great together! Because of them we as a society are who we are today!
that could also be true but tupac is still alive cause he killed biggie because pac thaugt biggie tried to kill him
they should make a true documentary with all of the people that were around biggie and tupac tell all their stories and make a conclusion from that and do it with the actual people not actors
Are you livin' in a cave, there have been in excess of 10 documentaries in volving the likes of Frank Alexander (Pacs' bodyguard) The Outlawz, see Biggie & Tupac, Before I Wake, Tupac: Resurrection, etc….
What is needed now is a motion picture considering how entertaining Tupac, his life and charisma was this now deserves the proper silver screen production considering how much he gave us Hollywood owes that to Him at least, far more so than the fat fuck Biggie, (no talent havin' motherfucker) Thug Life Baby – (T.I.P.) Thug In Peace
Fuck off you mug
I agree. Who could they possibly get to play Pac? He's become a mythical figure; his story is the stuff of legend, from both fans and detractors. Its doomed ta become a lame cliche-ridden mess; a TV-movie-of-the-week quality dud just like 'Notorious' did.
Pac's life speaks for itself and has already been widely-chronicled. What the folks at Amaru needa do is work out a deal with BET, MTV, and any other networks/companies' archives and put out a DVD of the interviews Pac gave over his brief career. THAT is what the masses should be more exposed to. His 1994 interview with Ed Gordon of BET is a prime example, one'a the best Pac ever gave; watch that in its entirety if you wanna get a feel for the real person we lost.
But thas' just my opinion. I could be wrong.
THUG LIFE
They should really take pac’s moviee to the big screens;
fu&k Biggie, Puff& all biggie lovers (suck it easy)!!!!
I think that they need to put his life on the big screen….They didn’t tell the true story on him and biggie in his movie…The truth needs to be known..They need to let the truth be told and everyone who knew him personally should have a say so in the movie or make a cameo….Where is the fuckin justice word up? PAC was the greatest and who ever don’t believe me then o well…..RIP TUPAC and Khadafi….You are both greatly missed….Only God can Judge you PAC….Fuck these hataz Im ryding for you PAC and Im sure others are too…
You all have to realize that in the movie “NOTORIOUS” it was seen how biggie saw tupac, Biggie saw tupac as his enemy and that how his movie was shot…from his point of view.
I love tupac and biggie eventhough tupac has better lyrics and delivers a more effective influence to the youth. Biggie was also talented and had an interesting story. You cant really decide… Tupac was a G and Biggie was a hardcore drug dealer but their pretty much the same people. Theyre both talented and I love both of them.
MAN FUCK THAT SHIT!!!!!!!!
There needs to be a 2Pac movie, biggie had a nice flow, i admit… BUT PAC WILL DESTROY HIM!!!!!!
MAKE TUPAC MOVIE NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!
Notorious was greattttt! And I’m West Coast, Too! Tupac’s alritee, but not greattttt…! Make a real rapper film like Dr. Dre’s story. Yeahhhhh!
a movie ab out 2 pac would b more interesting than the biggie movie………r.i.p 2 pac
TUPAC WAS THE GREATEST EVER!!!!
HE SHOULD DEFINITELY HAVE A MOVIE ABOUT HIS LIFE…
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS..THERE IS NO ONE THAT CAN PORTRAY HIM THE WAY HE SHUD BE…
HE IS A SPIRIT…ENERGY…HE’S NO LONGER A PERSON.
HE’S AN ANGEL!!!
SOMEONE WHO HAVE TOUCHED THE SOULS OF EVERYONE…BELIEVE IT OR NOT..
ADMIT IT OR NOT…IF NOT…FUCK YOU!!!
BUT DATS MY MAN…I RESPECT HIM AND IF I CAN GO BACK IN TIME THAT WUD BE ONE OF THE FIRST INCIDENTS I WUD STOP.
AS FAR AS WHO KILLED HIM…I THINK SUGE KNIGHT DID BECAUSE HE BEGGED PAC TO GO TO THE FIGHT WITH HIM AFTER FINDING OUT HE WAS LEAVING DEATH ROW…HE BEGGED PAC TO RIDE WITH HIM AND NOT HIS BODYGUARD…THAT IS TOO SUSPICIOUS TO LET SLIDE. COINCIDENTALLY…PAC DIED THAT NIGHT…SUGE PAID SOMEONE OFF….MAYBE OR MOST LIKELY WITH THE HELP OF THE FEDS (FEDS HATED PAC BECAUSE THEY COULDNT BRING HIM DOWN)…TO KILL PAC BECAUSE HE FELT BETRAYED THAT PAC HAD STARTED HIS OWN LABEL. AND WAS ABOUT TO BECOME SOMETHING BIGGER THAN ANYONE TODAY!!
AND IM AN EAST COAST RAPPER.

PAC 4EVA
No, he was not the greatest. He was a thug, thats it, thats all.
well i watched the “notorius” movie and after watching the “notorius” movie i definately thaught that they should put a tupac point of veiw movie out because people could get both sides of tupac and biggie storys, i also thaught biggie was stupid for listening to p.diddy because in the movie notorius when tupac got shot the first time biggie was going to call him but puff told him not to call, if biggie woud’ve called biggie could’ve said ” look bro lets work this out i didnt shoot you, us black men have to stick together and work our problems out.” like a grown man should instead of being childish and so called having “beef ” and from my of veiw tupac shakur and notorius b.i.g. are both good rappers i could listen to tupac and biggie all day and i am not on anybody side wether or not they both was from brooklyn new york.
yadigg what im sayin playa . ay yo people listen to the song change by tupac and tell me what tupac expect out of us, read his poems and ask yo self what he expect out of .
