The NWA biopic is comin’ straight outta Compton and onto your local movie screen. The cast for the film about the seminal gangsta rap group has just been confirmed.
Ice Cube announced the largely unknown cast in a photo that he tweeted out. The photo shows the real Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and the director of the film, F. Gary Gray.
It also includes O’Shea Jackson Jr., who is both the son of and the actor portraying Ice Cube, Marcus Callender, who is playing Dre, and Jason Mitchell, who will play Eazy-E.
The film is slated to be released on August 14, 2015. We’ve got a while to wait on this one, but it’s shaping up to be something special.
