HBO Scraps Stallone’s 2Pac/Biggie Film

Monday, December 11, 2006
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Sylvester StalloneActor Sylvester Stallone says his film “Notorious” – a biopic he was developing based on the murders of Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. – has stalled and may have been permanently shelved by HBO.

“I became involved in the Tupac/Biggie project about four years ago,” said Stallone, who planned on directing and acting in the cable TV movie.

“Gathering all the data, these two giant rap stars were murdered in front of numerous witnesses and no arrests have ever been made. This, on the surface, said to me some very important people had to be involved. Police chiefs?”

Stallone was to portray a police officer who gets blackballed after exposing dirty cops’ involvement in the homicides.

“The story was like a modern-day noir written from the point-of-view of a Detective [Russell] Poole, who basically was railroaded out of the police department because the more he investigated, the dirtier the high rollers in city hall and police commissions and DA offices all appeared to be part of a conspiracy to squash this case.”

“I don’t think it’ll ever be done because of the amount of lawsuits that would be filed.”

Smh...... They really dont want the truth to come to light wonder if it had been vanilla ice the white guy would it had turned out differrent like, would this cause been solved like 5 or less yrs ago. ?

^ you can't say its the truth, it's all speculation, the only people who know what happened were tupac, biggie and the ones involved in ttheir murders, it's sad because honestly i don't think we'll ever truly know. Did they ever check bullistics for fingerprints? i'm sure those bullets that hit them had someones fingerprints on them. I t would have to be a police cover up because there would have been a much more thorough investigation.

Everyones all ready knows this was a big cover up and its a damn shame they wont let this movie come out.....you can kill and get away with it....it just has to be a rapper..........
Posted by gitback
It's probably not coming out because it's too controversial. But i respect stallone for even trying. I would have never thought stallone would be even down with doing or being involved with something like this. I mean maybe stallone really is down and even likes or listens to rap music or something. Which also would surprise the f*ck out of me. Picture it.

J/k @sair^^...always trying to get ur opinion on things
Posted by rocky balboa
^^^rocky balboa... I do however have one statement for stalllone.... "this ain't a movie dog"... 2 black people are dead, 2 black mothers are still in mourning... And scores of family, friends and fans are still in a state of bereavement... So what does stallone get out of this..... Really, what? a check... A chance to show that he really cares about big and pac? a l.a.p.d. Scandal uncovered? what?.... Because whatever it is... It aint gonna do us any good. We, who loved biggie and pac's music only want one thing stallone... For them two dope mc's to "not" be dead. Can you bring them back to life? can you rewind the hands of time back to 95' or 96'? i doubt it. So just stick to fictional flicks... Let. God deal with the judgement coming to those involved. And let us deal with the living... Artist who are sesperately trying to save this thing of ours called hip hop.... And message to suge knight: conside that you can also begin to pay for your sins after death as well.... In hell... Sleep on that! righteous stand up!

Ohhhh what tha fukk! there is so much sh*t on tv that don't deserve to be on tv. The tupac/biggie film would rake in the cash money and would be a dope film to see fukk hbo!!!!! r.i.p tupac r.i.p biggie thug love!!
Posted by LostCause
The fact that this movie will not be made further lets me know how corrupt, unfair, and down-right insinsitive the justice system is when it comes to bringing the true killers of our black leaders and stars to justice. Our justice system is just as guilty as the ones who pulled the trigger and took b.i.g. And pac away from us. What is done in the dark will one day be brought to the light and all those who are hiding the truth, will one day be exposed.

Big up stallone !!!! you made yourself stand out even more in my book !! now i will support another rocky movie, just because !!!

Ggh uuh ggj iiu g ee j j

This movie needs to be made. Period. If it's all that, all the mc's that claim so much love for 'pac and big should get behind this. I'm tired of people always talking about god gonna deal with it and let it be. Man, ain't nobody noticed, we gettin the sh*t kicked out of us... In all levels of society. So, the more you throw the bullsh*t in the face ov the people in power the closer we hope to get to maybe making some changes. Brothas don't matter unless they making money for the big wigs and that's outside or inside of jails. So F*ck the pigs and politicians who try to play true soldiers, murder and beat us; and most importantly destroy and control the true heartbeat of the music that came out the last bit of african pride left in our communities. Peace 2da godz

Damn! isn't there another network that has the balls to put this out??
Posted by Just N
Y'all are completely missin the point....stallone was doin this for cash....point blank.....how would this film have proved anything? why does he need to make a film to prove suttin if he knows what went down? my point...stallone knows as much as we do, and this was an attempt to cash in on one of the most spectacular stories in entertainment......F*ck*n leech straight up.....thats why he's puttin out rocky F*ck*n 6 for christ sake...the mans obviously low on cash.....who the F*ck wants to see yet another rocky movie??? jesus.....he's also doin rambo 4.......need i say more......get a clue, this man is a leech.

Doesnt matter what stallone's reasons where for doing this....atleast he tried to do something... Let me ask you this...what the F*ck is every other rapper's and entertainer's out there and im talking about hip hop artists only, reason for not doing this then they damned self?? yeah bet u got no answer for that one do you??.... Okay so maybe stallone shouldnt be the one trying to find this out, so why the F*ck aint suge, puffy, nas, jay, em...any of them getting together and doing what stallone was trying to do? and they all combined got a sh*tload more money than sly...so they got no F*ck*ng excuses.. Much love to sly stallone for taking a F*ck*ng chance and being a man about it even if it was for a check and not real...bottom line is, he wouldve given us answers. Which is the point, fact he wouldve made money off this...sh*t remember that same bullsh*t logic next time some rapper does an album about hustlin and the hood..aint they exploiting the people's circumstances for themselves as well??? hypocritical Mu'fukkahs..

Well stallone is amazingly shocking everyone with this event.including me.i just think it should be out not as a film,but as a documentary.
Posted by ROEHR LOCC
Will anyone let these 2 men rip c'mon lets celebrate their lives not their deaths
Posted by zuese
Dre i'm seein your point about those other motherF*ckaz not touchin the subject.....but as for stallone givin us answers......how? like i said previously, what does he know that nobody else doesnt know? and thats the whole reason (imho) why nobody has attempted to touch this story.....nobody has answers.....nobody.......not em, not suge, not dre, none of them lot....and cerrtainly not sly. The people who know what happened to tupac and biggie arent the kind of people that make movies, you know what i mean? and the information they have about those deaths, is not gonna come out......and if it does, you can bet that stallone wouldnt be one of the first ones that gets told about it. So my point there is.....only people who really know what happened have a duty to tell the story, and the only people that really know what happened are the same people who did it....so dont expect them to make a movie about it either. So this brings me back to stallone, what can he possibly tell us that isnt already out there? answer that question and i'll see your side of it totally.....you wont be able to answer it tho....cos the answer is still that dude knows as much as anyone else and therefor, is'nt qualified to make movies about it.
Posted by Stzzla
Let me put this into context.....how about if i go out and shoot my own movie about it......would you come to my movie and pay it respect? F*ck no....you'd see it as an attempt to cash in on some sh*t....i dont have any answers neither....the only sh*t i could tell you about tupac and biggie is whats already out there.....same with sly.....he's not any more privy to information than i am......the only reason people would go to his film is because of his reputation (which died a long time ago) as a person who makes good action movies. Honestly though, there would be no difference between him making a movie about tupac and me making a movie about tupac.....because we both have the same information on the case......i.e, squat.
