When Tupac was serving his prison time way back in 1995 on sexual assault charges, he wrote an entire film screenplay called ‘Live 2 Tell’. The rumors of the screen play being turned into a feature film have been circling for years.
‘Live 2 Tell’ is not Tupac’s biopic that his mother is currently fighting for in the courts. ‘Live 2 Tell’ is a completed screenplay written by Tupac that centered around a drug kingpin trying to get out of the game and his mother has executive producer credit for this movie. The rights for this movie are being held with Insomnia Productions which produced the hit HBO series “Rome”.
The film is about “a charismatic young man at the dawn of adulthood spirals down the wrong path in life and is brought into the underworld by his once trusted mentor, only to become one of the most powerful and feared kingpins in the city. Eventually his conscience gets the better of him and he is driven to self redemption in life and love”.
Yeti says: “Considering this movie has been stuck in development hell for the past couple of years, no director or studio is attached, and Afeni Shakur is now concentrating more than ever on bringing her son’s biopic back to life, it will be no surprise if Live 2 Tell never makes it to the big screen”.
