Thoughts on a Tupac Film
First and foremost, I'd like to say in advance, Job well done. After watching the way casting was done, and now to even see the way props were chosen so thoroughly, there is an obvious appreciation for detail to telling this story the RIGHT way.
I say that to say this, someone commented on this video with the question as to why hasn't there been a TUPAC film created. Thats a very good question. And I suggest that there be one, but if there is to be one, it would do both films great justice to have all of the actors that played characters in this film, to play in Tupac's film. That film should also be co-directed by Tupac's mother to tell the story of her son. Even particalar scenes from this movie, could be recreated from the view of Tupac as they are relevant.
Thats it thats all.

Casting
In all honesty as much as I look foreward to seeing Notorious and its "Men Of Honor" director's work that I highly respect. I beg to wonder why is there no 2pac film? As a filmmaker myself Im a storyteller and I would tell the director of this film that as grand as Notorious may seem as a story we both know that in terms of film and story Tupac Shakur's life has all the elements required to make a successful drama while maintaining its targeted audience.
I also think the casting of Tupac Shakur should be just as important as the casting of B.I.G, in this film its not the case and from the clips Ive seen from the film Tupac Shakur is not only presented awkwardely and unfairly compared to B.I.G but also poorly acted in what can only be blamed a poor choice of casting. The perfect Tupac would and will always remain Wesley Snipes. Although Snipes hasnt made a theatrical appearence since Blade, this would be the role for him to play to reprise his success and maybe an Oscar and please fans at the same time of Tupac. In this case the guy who plays Tupac acts and looks nothing like the Tupac we saw on television screens. I can't deny the good casting Of Notorious though.
Even P.Diddy himself says hes only impressed with Notorious and the guy who plays himself. Nothing is mentioned on Tupac even on the site's main page hes not listed in "The Meet The Cast" section. So is tupac a minor or secondary character in a B.I.G movie?
Is that even authentic if that is the case ?
I cant wait until this film
I cant wait until this film releases...I hope you guys get that memorable sceen where both Tupac and Biggie were together at a resturunt freestyling!!!
definately can't wait
i agree with natima. i got that vibe magazine as well and it made me anticipate the movie even more along with these vids being posted.
I can't wait...
I didn't know anything about the making of this movie until a VIBE magazine arrived in my mailbox a month or so ago which had the article about the making of the movie along with the pictures of the actors. I was so excited about it! I had to get on this site to see the progress. I can not wait for this movie to come out. It's amazing what you are doing. I will be back to continue watching the video diary.
God Bless,
