'We’re starting this summer. I’m so excited,” says director Allen Hughes about filming the Snoop Dogg biopic.
Hughes — an Emmy and Peabody award nominee whose filmography includes “Menace II Society,” “Dead Presidents,” “The Book of Eli” and “The Defiant Ones” — will direct the yet-to-be-titled Snoop Dogg biopic. Announced in November, the Universal movie is the first film produced by Death Row Pictures, following Snoop’s“He surprised me with that biopic,” Hughes said of signing on to the film, which is billed as the “definitive” take on Snoop’s life and career.
Snoop also shared his excitement for the film, with a script in the works from Joe Robert Cole, co-writer of both “Black Panther” films. “It meant the world because I had a relationship with both of them,” Snoop said of sitting down with Hughes for the project. “To be able to give my input on the type of people they were and what they meant to me, how they should be celebrated. It’s a beautiful thing to be exposing this to the limelight. To keep his spirit alive. To keep her spirit alive. That’s what this is all about.”
