Morgan Creek and Universal Pictures are looking for a new director for a movie based on Tupac Shakur's life after Antoine Fuqua backed out of the project following a failed attempt to find an actor he felt was suitable for the role on 'Pac.
Variety is reporting that John Singleton is in negotiations to take Fuqua's vacated spot.
Singleton is very familiar with Shakur, having directed him in the movie 'Poetic Justice.' The two became such close friends that Singleton wrote the screenplay for 'Baby Boy' with 'Pac in mind as the lead. The role was eventually played by Tyrese Gibson after 'Pac was killed.
Check out some rare BET footage of Singleton and 'Pac having some fun facing off in a foot race below.
