The movie that we have been waiting years to see is finally here! The Tupac biopic has finally been released! The anticipation that many fans have held will finally get some relief this week with the premiere opening of the official “All Eyes On Me – Legends Never Die” biopic.

Will this be as good as the NWA biopic? Will the characters look like they were born to play each role? Will we see the various facets of such a complex and larger than life Tupac? Will Demetrius Shipp Jr. meet extremely high expectations of nailing the role of Shakur? This week, all of our questions will be answered.

This week, the Black Collective along with 99.3 The Box, and Monster Music are holding an advanced screen of “All Eyes On Me”. If you are a true fan of hip-hop, black culture, and music you can see this movie before anyone else by attending the official screening going down Thursday, June 15th at the Terrace Theater-Click here for tickets.

The true and untold story of prolific rapper, actor, poet and activist Tupac Shakur (Demetrius Shipp Jr.), from his early days in New York to his status as one of the world’s most recognized and influential voices. Against all odds, Shakur’s raw talent, powerful lyrics and revolutionary mindset establish him as a cultural icon whose legacy continues to grow long after his death.

It’s slightly under two minutes long, however from the short clip seen below, we have to admit that the “All Eyes On Me” movie trailer has us ready to see the long awaited movie, formerly titled “Tupac”.

It looks like we finally get to see the relationship he has with Jada, his experience of surviving being shanked in prison, and the pure roller-coaster legacy that was Tupac – all wrapped up into about 2.5 hours. Based on just the teaser, the actor playing Tupac appears to be convincing enough, Suge Knight, Afeni Shakur, even Jamal Woolard who will play Biggie all seem to be the right fit for the perspective roles. It’s hard to forget the nightmares of the Aaliyah and Whitney Houston biopics, so fans are on pins and needles, making sure casting and acting is done right! Tupac lived his life like an open book and fans were able to follow him more than your average celeb during this era, so if ANYTHING is out of place, real Tupac fans will know.

The Tupac biographical drama film is directed by Benny Boom, produced by LT Hutton, David C. Robinson, James G. Robinson and written by Steven Bagatourian, Stephen J. Rivele, Christopher Wilkinson, Ed Gonzalez, and Jeremy Haft. Starring, Demetrius Shipp, Jr. (Tupac Shakur), Danai Gurira (Afeni Shakur), Kat Graham (Jada Pinkett), Dominic L. Santana (Suge Knight), Jamal Woolard (Biggie Smalls), Annie Ilonzeh (Kidada Jones), Lauren Cohan (Lelia Steinberg), Grace Gibson (Faith Evans), Harold House Moore (Dr Dre.)
