Biggie/Pac Movie Unlikely

The planned Sylvester Stallone movie about Biggie Smalls and TuPac appears unlikely at this time... From ThugLifeArmy.com

Sylvester Stallone was slated to write, direct and star in a film about the deaths of murdered hip hop rap icons Tupac (2Pac) and Biggie and the Los Angeles Police Department corruption scandal that lurks beneath the story. The film has had many 'working' titles including 'Rampart Scandal', 'Notorious', 'A Detective's Requiem', and 'Thugz Lives'. The film was to center on a massive internal investigation of the LAPD that some say links off-duty officers to the murders of the slain hip hop icons Tupac Shakur (2Pac) and Christopher Wallace, a.k.a. Notorious B.I.G.. Sylvester Stallone has said recently that his plans have stalled and the movie may never make its planned debut on HBO.

Commenting on the film Stallone says "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."
