Antoine Fuqua confirms Tupac biopic

Director Antoine Fuqua (Training Day) is in pre-production for a biopic of rapper Tupac Shakur due to begin filming in September. Dark Horizons says Fuqua is looking for an unknown to portray the hip-hop legend:

“That’s the goal, I want to discover someone new. I want to discover a lot of new people if I can. Obviously I’m going to have to put some people in it that you know, just because actors have different skills. I want to go to the streets and find him anywhere he might be in the world.”
