NWA x Straight Outta Compton. Most of Hollywood probably did not expect this move but critically acclaimed writer Andrea Berloff is confirmed to penn the script to Straight Outta Compton, the NWA endorsed story about their rise to fame. Berloff is most known for writing Oliver Stone’s World Trade Center.
Ice Cube is officially on board to produce the film via his Cube Vision production banner and Eazy-E’s widow, Tomica Woods, who inherited his share of the song rights, also is producing. The interesting thing is that they are all on board for Berloff, a Caucasian woman, to write their story. This just shows though the level of professionalism that they plan to take this movie…that it’s not a race issue, but about who can write the best script and tell the best story.
Still no word on when the film will go into production and even if Dre, Ren and Yella are on board but you can expect the casting decisions to be a big deal when the time comes. Movie will come out via New Line Cinema. Via: HR
