Welcome to Hollywood!

I don't think a casting call speaks for the quality of the movie though.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Paul Giamatti to play Jerry Heller.

They just went to the extreme.

Damn, I don't even know how to react to that.

'Selma's Keith Stanfield to Play Snoop Dogg in Universal's N.W.A. Movie (Exclusizzle)
The “Short Term 12” star, who's a musician himself, will play the young rapper in “Straight Outta Compton”

After showing off his rap skills in “Short Term 12,” Keith Stanfield has been cast as a young Snoop Dogg in Universal's N.W.A. movie “Straight Outta Compton,” TheWrap has learned.

F. Gary Gray is directing the drama, which stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube), Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E), Aldis Hodge (MC Ren) and Neil Brown Jr. (DJ Yella) as the members of N.W.A., while Paul Giamatti will co-star as the group's manager Jerry Heller.

Stanfield will play Calvin Broadus Jr., the soon-to-be legendary rapper known as Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion), who crosses paths with N.W.A. as they both make their way in the rap game.

Snoop isn't the only other notable real-life figure in the film, as Sheldon A. Smith is playing Warren G and Carra Patterson will co-star as Tomica Woods. Music mogul Suge Knight is also a significant character in the film.

Ice Cube and Dr. Dre are producing with Matt Alvarez and Tomica Woods-Wright, while Gray is executive producing with Will Packer and former Universal exec Scott Bernstein.

Set in the mid-1980s, when the streets of Compton, California were some of the most dangerous in the country, story chronicles the rise and fall of N.W.A. — five young men who translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority and gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. The film explores how they revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.

Universal executives Jon Mone and Sara Scott will oversee the project for the studio, which will release “Straight Outta Compton” on Aug. 14, 2015.

Stanfield is a rising young star who earned an Independent Spirit Award nomination for “Short Term 12,” which featured his heartbreaking rap song “You Don't Know What It's Like.” That film led to his casting in Ava DuVernay's MLK movie “Selma,” a likely awards contender in which he plays Jimmie Lee Jackson.

Not only did Stanfield just wrap Don Cheadle‘s Miles Davis movie “Miles Ahead,” but he's also an up-and-coming musician whose hip-hop group MOORS will be performing with Com Truise at the El Rey in October. The band has an EP due out later this year.

Stanfield, who also appeared in Universal's “The Purge: Anarchy,” is represented by Innovative Artists, IAM Entertainment and Ginsburg Daniels.

Snoop Dogg attended the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday night, where he and co-presenter Gwen Stefani bestowed Katy Perry with the VMA for Best Female Video.

First STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON Trailer Debuts at Ice Cube Concert

 

[Hurm...]

****, I hope this doesn't suck, because I really liked that trailer. They have an awesome cinematographer behind this as well.

 

[JabarR]

 

[Dr. Evil]

DJ Yella has not aged well.

 

[PyroChamber]

Who's the other guy with the glasses?

 

[Octoberist]

And magically Ice Cube hasn't aged since the 90's.

 

[terry78]

Close enough.

 

[Galactus10]

Looks pretty good from that trailer.

Hopefully it's at least as good as Notorious.

My favorite music biopic of late was Get On Up.

 

[MadVillainy]

The last picture is great.

I hope this is a good biopic and not just a decent hip hop movie

Who's the other guy with the glasses?

You mean on the right? MC Ren

 

[JabarR]

Who's the other guy with the glasses?

You must be talking about the D.O.C.

 

[chamber-music]

And magically Ice Cube hasn't aged since the 90's.

Time is afraid to age Ice Cube.

 

[JabarR]

Time is afraid to age Ice Cube.

You see him with his son, OMG?

 

[DarkKnight88]

Anyone know when that trailer is "officially" going to be released in HD online? It's a Universal movie so with Blackhat next week perhaps?

 

[MadVillainy]

I'd like to know too. Im waiting for the HD to watch the trailer

Wut?

 

[chamber-music]

Another crazy day in the life of Suge Knight. This is the dude who started Death Row records off hustling/threatening Vanilla Ice for a percentage of his publishing.

Suge Knight must love prison because he seems to do a lot of dumb stuff to end up back in jail.

 

[MadVillainy]

Suge is an idiot and a thug. I hope they lock him up for good
