Snoop Dogg announces filming of his biopic this summer

The director of Hustle and Flow is at the helm of the film.

Snoop Dogg was on stage at CinemaCon a few days ago to tease his biopic, along with the actor who will play him on screen, Jonathan Daviss (Outer Banks).

“I wish I could give you more details. But there aren’t many at the moment. Filming will begin this summer in Los Angeles. We’ll be back at CinemaCon next year with a trailer.”

This Universal-produced biopic is expected to be released next year, reports World of Real.

If we are to believe producer Donna Langley, the feature film will be in the same vein as the documentary, NWA: Straight Outta Compton.

In 1993, the American rapper set things on fire with his first album Doggystylesold nearly a million copies in one week… Today, Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr., 54 years old, is one of the iconic figures of the American hip-hop landscape, particularly with his pieces Gin and Juice And Drop It Like It’s Hot. Over the years, he has established himself as an essential personality in the cultural landscape: from his numerous roles in cinema and television, to dubbing. Between advertisements and video games, its name has also become a real branded product…

A career in its own right that we will soon see on the big screen.

American director Craig Brewer, at the origin of musical films Hustle and Flow, Black Snake Moan or even To a blues tune (photo above), is now tackling a monument of hip-hop culture.

Jonathan Daviss, the 26-year-old American actor known for his role in the series Outer Bankswill perform the rapper.

This announcement confirms the Hollywood trend for musical biopics. Universal signs several films in the image of Michaelin theaters on April 22 in France, but also The Beatles – a four-film cinematic eventwhich should see the light of day by 2028 or the biopic on singer Jon Bon Jovi…
