The film “will delve deep into the life and storied exploits of the Death Row Records co-founder as well as the volatile and highly influential era in music that he presided over."
Showtime promises Knight will “personally reveal exactly how it all happened, why it all fell apart, and what the next chapter holds for one of America’s most iconic and mythologized figures.”
"Suge Knight’s reputation and rise to power in the music business has become the stuff of legend,” said producer Bradley J. Fischer told CNN. “Antoine Fuqua and I are thrilled to be partnering with Showtime to tell this remarkable story and take audiences behind a curtain that most have been terrified to even approach.”
Knight will also be producing the soundtrack through his new company, Black Kapital.
No release date information is available yet.

Ice Cube is preparing to produce a new film about N.W.A., the legendary West Coast group he played an integral role in.
There's a strong possibility Cube will be reuniting with Boyz N the Hood director John Singleton for the project. Singleton told The Playlist that he and Cube have been in discussions.
“I can’t talk about it too prematurely about the stuff I’m doing because nothing’s come to fruition yet, but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story,” Singleton said. “The script is really, really good, and so we’re just figuring it out. New Line really wants to make it.”
The role of the late Eazy E could wind up being played by the late rapper's son Eric Wright Jr. aka Lil' Eazy E. He told TMZ that he is the "perfect man for the role" and that there was a "high probability" he'll portray his father in the film.
"Who better to play him in the N.W.A. days?" Lil' Eazy said. "Like father, like son -- no makeup needed."
Consisting of Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Eazy E and DJ Yella, N.W.A. is considered to be one the the pioneers of gangsta rap.
Rolling Stone ranks them 83rd on their list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.

"Animals have feelings and I think it's important we take action," Simmons says. "I don't want to start any controversy. I guess it's weird that somebody is naked, but you won't really see anything. It's classy, I'm not going about it in a crazy way."

"I'm happy with it. I feel lighter--it's a good feeling," Angela says of her vegetarian diet.

Styles P of The Lox addressed an issue that a lot of people in hip-hop are still uncomfortable talking about during a recent issue with VladTV.
SP was asked if he thought there would ever be an openly gay rapper in the industry. He said he thought there would be at some point, but they should be careful about who they are influencing.
"I've been asked this question a lot lately... and I think so," Styles said. "My take on it as an adult male male is I don't care what you do, I'm comfortable in my situation. But sometimes it's uncomfortable as a father, certain situations. Just be cautious with it on who you're trying to influence and not influence. And that's not even being gay. That's in every part of life."
