Joe Robert Cole worked with Ryan Coogler to write the screenplays for Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. As announced, the author is already working on a new script. This is not the third part of the “Black Panther” series, but a biopic about the rap superstar Snoop Dogg!
Allen Hughes has also been announced to direct the untitled Snoop Dogg biopic. Together with his brother Albert, Allen Hughes made a name for himself in the industry in the 1990s: “Menace II Society” and “Dead Presidents” are now true classics. The brothers also directed From Hell, starring Johnny Depp. Allen Hughes’ solo work includes the crime thriller Broken City, starring Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe.
Snoop Dogg would provide the project with his full discography and will also be involved as producer. The biopic is the first film to be produced by Snoop Dogg’s own production company, Death Row Pictures. The musician in this regard: “I waited a long time to get this project off the ground because I wanted to pick the right director, the perfect writer and the best film company to work with.”
Snoop Dogg is a living rap legend who rose to superstardom in the 1990s. Responsible for this was his collaboration with Dr. Dre, who also made the legendary hit “Still DRE”. In addition, the albums “Doggystyle” and “The Doggfather” are among the most important discs of 90s hip-hop. Meanwhile, Snoop Dogg has also gained fame as an actor. Most recently, he appeared with Jamie Foxx in “Day Shift”, but he also had roles in “Training Day”, “Beach Bum” and “Scary Movie 5”.
