#BBB NEWS| Benny Boom Says Directing Tupac’s ‘All Eyez On Me’ Biopic Is The Highlight Of His Career [PHOTOS]

Tupac’s All Eyez On Me biopic is gearing up for a major release soon, and its famed director, Benny Boom, is revealing the inner workings of putting together the film on the iconic artist.

In an interview with XXL, Boom spoke on the deeper meaning of the motion picture and the casting of Demetrius Shipp Jr. as the “Changes” rapper. “Demetrius 1,000 percent embodies everything that Tupac did,” he said. “Sometimes I have to go back and just look to remember like “Oh, this is Tupac,” and not get lost in Demetrius’ portrayal of Tupac because he’s doing it so well.”

Boom also shared that this opportunity sits at the top of his list of cinematic achievements. “To be able to direct a film about the most iconic, I would say first off, the most iconic hip-hop figure. That’s No. 1. [Tupac] is the Elvis Presley of our generation. He is Beethoven to the 15th, 16th century,” he said. “He is the artist. So, to be able to direct to have the opportunity to direct the film about him, is big for anyone. Anyone who would have gotten this chance to direct the film, I think this is a high point for them. No matter where they came from or what other films they’ve done before.”

#BBB NEWS| Production For Tupac’s Biopic ‘All Eyez On Me’ Has Finally Begun [PHOTOS]

After having a slew of director replacements, and a hefty multi-million dollar lawsuit—Tupac’s biopic, All Eyez On Me finally has begun production.

The making of the highly anticipated film came just in time, due to reports surfacing of a previous lawsuit from the late rapper’s mother, Afeni Shakur. The lawsuit claimed that the film could only gain the rights to Pac’s original music if the production took off within the time span of this year.

The good news was unearthed through a few of L.T. Hutton’s Instagram posts, which showcase a collage of photos featuring production meetings; film equipment; and a director’s chair. Hutton is a music producer and former A&R at Ruthless and Interscope Records, according to Uproxx. He is working with Morgan Creek Films to produce the biopic.
