The filmmakers shared the first glimpses from the film with the world on his 45th birthday.

2pac is alive! But only in the trailer All Eyez On Me, the movie about Tupac Shakur, also known by its artistic name Makaveli or just Pac, who was shot dead in 1996.

What caused the Tupac script to move from deadlock after so many years gathering dust on the desks of film studios is not entirely known, but the unexpected success of the film certainly contributed to it The Story of NWA – Straight Outta Compton (he played Tupac in it Marc Rose), who also managed without famous names in front of the camera, but in contrast to this biography, All Eyez On Me has "baby teeth" behind the camera as well. The film was directed by the relatively inexperienced Benny Boom, and the script was written by Ed Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft.
