Hollywood revolves around the power of the dollar, which would explain why a new film following the careers of several of the most influential artists to come from the West Cost is on the way, according toDaz Dillinger.
Straight Outta Compton is a box office success. A new film titled Dogg Pound 4 Life is now in the planning stages.
TMZ reports that the film will pick up where Straight Outta Compton left off. It will center around the careers of Tupac Shakur, Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound and Nate Dogg.
Daz says it will also show how gangs have influenced the music industry.
Ice Cubehas reportedly given his blessing. So far the only confirmed cast member isCurtis Young, who will play his father,Dr. Dre.
None of the cast members from Straight Outta Compton will appear in Dogg Pound 4 Life.
The story of Death Row Records and Suge Knight will at least have to be told in part because of the success the artists achieved while on the label. However, Suge no longer owns the catalog of music from those days, so his permission won't be needed.
Hopefully 2Pac's mom, Afeni Shakur, who owns the rights to her son's music andeOne, the company in control of Death Row Records' music vault will sign off on the film.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Caitlyn Jenner could face a vehicular manslaughter charge after sheriff's investigators found she was driving unsafely when she caused a chain-reaction crash that killed a woman last February, officials said Thursday.
Investigators found that Jenner was driving "unsafe for the prevailing road conditions" when her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.
Their investigation found that speed was a factor, considering the existing traffic conditions, Nishida said. Daniel W. Vomhof, an accident reconstructionist, said the additional weight from towing a loaded trailed makes it more difficult to stop a vehicle quickly and can surprise people.
Jenner was hauling an off-road vehicle on a trailer behind her Cadillac Escalade on Feb. 7 when she steered to avoid cars slowing for a traffic light in front of her on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
Jenner was unable to stop in time and her SUV rear-ended two cars, pushing the Lexus into oncoming traffic and also hitting a Toyota Prius. The Lexus driver, 69-year-old Kim Howe, was killed when her car was struck head-on by a Hummer.
The case will be presented to prosecutors for final review by the end of August, Nishida said. The district attorney's office will determine what charges Jenner ultimately faces.
If convicted of such a charge, Jenner could face up to one year in county jail. Jenner's attorney Blair Berk declined comment.
Because Jenner has no prior record, it's unlikely she would face any jail time if prosecutors charge her with vehicular manslaughter and she's convicted, said Daniel W. Vomhof, an accident reconstructionist who's testified in 3,500 cases.
He said Jenner would more likely face a fine or probation — or even an ultimately lesser charge such as driving too fast for conditions.
Vomhof said Jenner's experience towing a loaded trailer may come into play in determining what's ultimately charged, as well as how detailed the police investigation was in recording speeds and distances at the accident scene.
The fatal crash occurred months before Caitlyn Jenner's transition. She was formerly known as Bruce Jenner, the 1976 Olympic decathlon champion and Kim Kardashian's stepfather.
Howe's stepchildren have filed suit against Jenner claiming they've suffered enormous damages.
The lawsuit by Dana Redmond and William Howe does not specify how much they are seeking. They claim Jenner was negligent when she collided with their stepmother's car, causing them and other relatives "great losses."
Attorneys for Howe's step-children, Dana Redmond and William Howe, did not immediately return email messages seeking comment.
Another woman, Jessica Steindorff, who was driving the Prius, also filed suit seeking unspecified damages. A phone message for Steindorff's attorney, Brad Simon, was not immediately returned on Thursday.
Jenner's transition has played out in public over the past several months. She's vowed to use her to celebrity platform to urge acceptance for others who are transgender.

Watch out Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, there's a new candidate on the block sneaking up on both of you.
In what has to be the most epic case of trolling in history, Deez Nuts, actually pulled in 9% of the vote in a recent North Carolina poll.
Deez is actually a 15-year-old high school sophomore from Iowa named Brady Olsen. In reality you have to be at least 35-years old to run for the President of the United States, but that's not stopping Brady from making a mockery of the entire process.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, he said he just wanted to shake things up.
How old are you? 15, so no day job, no kids, no marriage
You’re 15?! That’s amazing. So, what — you're about to be a high school sophomore? Entering my sophomore year, also taking online college classes through a nearby college.
Do your parents know? Are they supportive? My parents know and they gave me the green light.
What's your legal name? Brady C. Olson
I'm assuming you take your political name from the Bofa meme? Yeah
Is that some kind statement on our two-party political system? Half trying to break the two-party system, half frustration with the front-runners
Why did you decide to run for president? Because I really didn't want to see Clinton, Bush, or Trump in the White House, so I guess I'm just trying to put up a fight.
How would you describe your political orientation? have you ever been a registered Democrat or Republican? I'm fifteen, so I haven't been registered yet. I side more with the Libertarian Party.
What do you think qualifies you to be president? The fact that if I can fill out a form so vague that it doesn't include your age, or the fact that all get accepted even if they're only partially filled, anyone can run.
Do you really live in Iowa? I Google mapped the address on your FEC registration; it looks like a house-less spit of land between two lakes. That is where I live, but Wallingford is actually 8 miles to the west. I live in between 4 towns- Estherville, Wallingford, Graettinger, Ringsted
Did Public Policy Polling start using your name in polls at your request — or did they start doing that independently? I asked, but I wanted it to be against low-pollers, like me vs Lindsey Graham vs Lincoln Chafee, to see how desperate voters would be in that situation
Why should Americans support you, rather than Donald Trump? Because I'm young and I think I have fresher ideas because whatever decisions I make would have longer effects on me
If you could pose one question to Hillary Clinton, what would it be? Why can't you be more open and friendly like Bernie?
If you had to back another presidential candidate, who would it be? Either Bernie Sanders(D-VT) or Gary Johnson(L-NM)
How far are you willing to take this practical joke? As far as America wants to take it.
Nicki Minaj's wax figure at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, was recently unveiled. The museum's proprietors have urged fans to come by and snap selfies with it, but some people are using the opportunity to act up.
Perhaps it's the doggy style pose that is bringing out the jokesters.
However, Madame Tussauds is not amused and released a statement assuring that necessary measures to are being taken to ensure this doesn't continue.
"We have been made aware of the inappropriate photograph that was taken at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas, involving Nicki Minaj's new wax figure," the company wrote. "It is unfortunate that this visitor decided to behave so inappropriately and we apologize for any offence this has caused. ... We are taking immediate steps to ensure more staff are present in this area and that the set around this particular figure is redesigned so that a picture like this cannot be taken again."
Check out some of the photos below.
What's your take? Is this distasteful or hilarious?
St. Louis police arrested 9 people following a night protests that some people used as an opportunity to commit acts of arson, break-ins and looting.
The unrest stems from the shooting death of 18-year old back teen Mansur Ball-Bey by two white officers, on Wednesday August 19.
Authorities say Ball-Bey ran, then pointed a gun at them when they arrived at his residence to serve a search warrant for guns and drugs used in a felony. Police fired a total of four shots, killing the teen.
Following the shooting police said they found four guns and crack cocaine in the home.
Citizens took to the streets and began to protest the shooting almost immediately. By nightfall things turned ugly as rocks and bottles were thrown at police. Officers responded by deploying teargas.
“There has to be a better way, but the better way is not to terrorize an already terrorized community,”Rev. Renita LamkintoldSt. Louis Today. “How they deal with the situation is classist and dehumanizing. The people here don't matter as much to them.”
Property ownerGary Taylor said he supported the police actions "because they wouldn't stop."
"These are not even people who live in this neighborhood," Taylor said. "None of these people I recognize."

Former Subway pitchman Jared Fogle is about to becomes an inmate and his wife, Katie Fogle, is taking their two children and filing for divorce.
The soon-to-be ex-couple were married in 2010.
"Obviously, I am extremely shocked and disappointed by the recent developments involving Jared," McLaughlin said in a statement to the media."I am in the process of seeking a dissolution of the marriage. My focus is exclusively on the well-being of my children," her statement continued. "Neither I nor my family will have any further comment on the matter. I appreciate respect for my family’s privacy during this difficult time."
As we previously reported, Jared, 37, agreed to a plea deal on Wednesday, August 19. In exchange he'll be sentenced anywhere from a minimum of 5 years to a maximum of 12 1/2 years in prison.
He's charged with one count of travel to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor and one count of distribution and receipt of child pornography. He must also register as a sex offender.
In addition he will have to pay pay $1.4 million in restitution to 14 minor victims, who will each receive $100,000.
Some of the videos found on Jared's computer by authorities during a July raid on his Indianapolis home depicted female and male children as young as 6-years old. He also engaged in sexual acts with minors.
After a paid encounter with one 17-year old, Jared told her he would pay her an additional fee if she could find him more underage girls. Saying "that he would accept a 16-year-old girl, while stating that the younger the girl, the better."
