In what would be the first definitive biopic on the legendary hip-hop star and pop culture icon, Universal Pictures is developing a film about the life of Snoop Dogg
“I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect writer, and the greatest movie company I could partner with that could understand the legacy that I’m trying to portray on screen, and the memory I’m trying to leave behind,” said Snoop. “It was the perfect marriage. It was holy matrimony, not holy macaroni.”The pic marks the first film from Snoop’s Death Row Pictures and will incorporate the music from his massive catalogue.
The studio is also behind one of the more successful hip-hop biopics ever with the Oscar-nominated N.W.A pic, which blew away box-office records for a musical biopic grossing more than $200 million at the box-office . Snoop first hit the scene in 1992 when he featured on Dr. Dre’s debut solo single, “Deep Cover”, and then on Dre’s debut solo album, “The Chronic.” He has sold more than 35 million albums worldwide. He is a 17-time Grammy nominee, American Music Award and Primetime Emmy Award winner.
“Snoop Dogg is one of the most internationally beloved figures in hip-hop. There’s just something about his energy that brings people of all walks of life together. Snoop Dogg, not just the artist, but the man and his brand, has transcended generations with his connection and appeal to audiences.
