The filming for All Eyez On Me is officially finito! There’s been plenty of times where it seemed as if this movie would never happen. Directors have walked away from it, difference in opinions in regards to what should be told, but with Benny Boom stepping in to get the job done, the job is finished. The film is now officially in its post-production stages.
“We’re starting from before he was born,” Boom told Billboard. “His parents were Black Panthers. You see the struggles of his youth, his relationship with his mother, father figures that were in and out of his life, and what he developed into as a man from that. It humanizes him.”
All Eyez On Me will tell the story of Pac’s life in full, from when his mother was in the Black Panthers to his birth to his final hours alive in 1996. Although the film doesn’t have an official release date, you can expect something near the 20th anniversary of Pac’s passing.
“Our film is about truth,” Boom said. “It’s not about anybody’s side of the story. These were young guys acting irrationally, but hadn’t walked in manhood long enough to understand how to deal with situations. They had armies around them to hype them up. It’s a cautionary tale.”
