In just a few months, the cast of the upcoming Tupac Shakur biopic has finished filming, putting the project in post-production mode.

According to Global Grind, the cast wrapped up the final scenes in Las Vegas earlier this week. Producer LT Hutton shared a few videos of Demetrius Shipp Jr., who portrays the late rapper, riding around with Dominic L. Santana (Suge Knight) on Instagram. The rapper was shot on the Vegas strip following his attendance to a Mike Tyson fight on Sept. 7, 1996.

Directed by Benny Boom, the story will highlight Shakur’s upbringing to his rise in hip-hop and Hollywood. Boom promised fans the biopic will highlight his family’s connections to the Black Panther party and his relationship with his mother Afeni Shakur.

Speaking with Vibe in March, actor Jamie Hector (who plays the rapper’s stepfather Mutulu Shakur) discussed Danai Gurira’s portrayal of Shakur in the film.

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.”
