Showtime has greenlighted Suge Knight (working title), a feature-length documentary about the Death Row Records co-founder as well as the volatile and influential era in music over which he presided. The project will be directed by Training Day helmer Antoine Fuqua. Suge Knight, produced by Bradley J. Fischer and Fuqua, will be the first in a series of new documentaries produced by Showtime that will spotlight iconic and controversial figures and be done by A-list filmmakers. The documentary marks Knight’s return to the music business; through his new company Black Kapital, he will oversee the film’s soundtrack. David Prior, Laeta Kalogridis, James Vanderbilt, Lisa Remington and Edward McGurn are executive producing, with Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chuck Philips serving as co-producer.

Looking forward to this. I’ve always found Suge Knight to be an absolute delight.
So, Fuqua drops off a studio Tupac feature to do a cable Suge Knight documentary. Scotty and CAA doing a fine job with this career, just spectacular boys!
Hopefully they’ll portray Suge the way he really is… a relic.
Ha, funny. From being one of the most “feared” figures in the music industry, (guy allegedly threatened to throw Vanilla Ice off a building unless he signed over his publishing rights)to a man who got KTFO by 2 guys half his size in a 6 month span.
Laughed hard off that one. Funnier than you realize. I owe you a drink for that one.
Hopefully they don’t leave out the part where Suge got shot by Jimmy Henchmen.
Mr. Fuqua has announced himself as attached to many films (most of which I note never are heard from again) but this has to be the all time best joke. Tupac to Shug? Only in Hollywood.
