Short description

All Eyez on Me chronicles the life and legacy of Tupac Shakur, including his rise to superstardom as a hip-hop artist, actor, poet and activist, as well as his imprisonment and prolific, controversial time at Death Row Records. Against insurmountable odds, Tupac rose to become a cultural icon whose career and persona both continue to grow long after his passing.

What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is originally titled All Eyez on Me – after the album of the same name by Tupac Shakur, which was released on February 13, 1996.
  • The film's premiere was originally scheduled for June 16, 2017 – Tupac Shakur's birthday.
  • Demetrius Shipp Jr.'s father, who played Tupac, worked with Death Row Records and produced the song "Toss It Up" from Tupac Shakur's album "The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory".
  • John Singleton was originally slated to direct the film, but he was unable to reach an agreement with the studio regarding how Tupac would be portrayed.
