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.
Danai Gurira will portray Tupac's recently deceased mother Afeni Shakur, his lifelong friend Kat Graham Jada Pinkett Smith, by Puff Daddy Stephen Washington, and Leila Steinberg, Tupac's mentor and first manager Lauren Cohan.
