Watch the binding trailer for the 2Pac biopic

Posted on

A new trailer for All Eyez on Me, the upcoming biopic of Tupac Shakur has been released.

The trailer offers an insight into Tupac’s youth and upbringing, as he watches violent encounters with bigoted police gain a hold on he and those around him.

The trailer’s strongest moment comes in a conversation with Tupac’s mother as she foreshadows “They are going to come after you and everything you love. They are gonna give you the tools that you need to destroy yourself.”

Adding to the anticipation for the film is the eeriness in how much Demetrius Shipp Jr. — playing the iconic rapper — looks like ‘Pac. We’re also offered a brief look at Biggie Smalls and Suge Knight, played by Jamal Woolard and Dominic L. Santana, respectively.

The biopic is set to be released June 16, the legendary rapper’s birthday.

All Eyez on Me is an upcoming American biographical drama film about Tupac Shakur, directed by Benny Boom and written by Ed Gonzalez and Jeremy Haft. The film stars Demetrius Shipp, Jr. as Tupac and co-stars Danai Gurira, Lauren Cohan, Jamie Hector and Annie Ilonzeh.

The film will focus on the career of Tupac Shakur all the way to the fatal drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in 1996.
