The Tupac biopic "All Eyez On Me" is really happening. With distinguished music video guru Benny Boom now signed as the film's director, the film has also found its Tupac and Biggie.
Little known actor Demetrius Shipp, Jr. will portray Tupac. Jamal Woolard will reprise his role of Biggie from the 2009 film "Notorious."
Marcc Rose portrayed Tupac in "Straight Outta Compton." According to TMZ, L.T. Hutton, a producer of the film, invited Shipp to audition because of his resemblance to Tupac. With only a small roll in TV movie called #unlock'd under his belt, Shipp enrolled in acting classes to prepare for "All Eyez on Me."
"All Eyez on Me" started filming last week in Atlanta. Check pics of the dynamic duo below. Shipp is a dead ringer for 'Pac.
