The Tupac biopic All Eyez on Me is slated to be released June 16, on what would have been his 46th birthday.
Lionsgate’s Summit Entertainment has acquired the U.S. rights to the Morgan Creek Entertainment film.
The film chronicles his rise to superstardom as a rapper, actor, poet and activist, as well as his imprisonment and controversial time at Death Row Records. Pac sold more than 75 million records worldwide, with his fourth studio album, 1996’s All Eyez on Me, selling more than 10 million copies. Pac, who was killed in Las Vegas at the age of 25, will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7 this year.
Benny Boom directed the film, which stars newcomer Demetrius Shipp Jr. as Tupac.
