Fuqua said the film is on track but he still needs to workout the screenplay. "It was announced too soon," Fuqua told The Playlist. "I have a deal for Tupac, but the script is not there yet, and it's being worked on. Somehow someone started talking about it, it got out there and went crazy, but it was always a situation of, let's make sure we have a great script, and get it right."

The movie will not follow 'Pac's entire story but the time surround his death and "the last few days, that trip from LA to Vegas, and where his head was during that journey."
