Whats the runtime of this movie ?


Because it would suck if its going to feel like a rushjob movie.This movie needs at least 180 minutes/200 minutes runtime.To tell alot of the tupac story.

In an interview, Benny Boom said it'll be 2 hours 30 minutes (150 minutes). He also said the DVD cut would be 3 hours.

Ok cool thanks for the info !

No problem

Really? While I like Tupac, I don't think he needs a 3 hour film because his story doesn't have that much to go off of. Straight Outta Compton was 2 1/2 hours long and it was just the right amount

They could make a Netflix series for Tupac if they wanted to. Just tell his life story within 10 one hour episodes. Compare 10 hours to 3 lol.

How does Tupac life not have that much to go off?

He lived a life in 25 years and did so many things most people don't do in a whole life time, even his childhood was interesting because his mother gave birth to him like a week after being released from prison and a member of the black panthers. He was shot countless times, he shot at cops, he was involved in the most notorious rap beef of all time, had politicians like Dan Quale trying to ban his music. Etc etc.

I think 3 hours is too little to cover it all in fact, I think maybe a 2 part movie both 2 hours would come closer to it even being possible.


The plan is you drink a nice tall glass of shut the *beep* up.

I mean in comparison to other biopics that have come out. Malcolm X was over 3 hours but covered a lot of ground to his lifestyle changes and being apart of the very group that would lead to his death. Tupac on the other hand, while I see everything your saying, could easily sum up all that material within 2 hours and 10 minutes or less.

While 3 hours sounds like enough, it will boil down to pacing and how the scenes affect another, and I just don't see the filmmakers doing that

It also would be interesting to see a tv/mini series about the last 24 hours of tupac before he died.
And see it from the perspectives of different characters and multiple storylines.

Ahh yeah... Gobi: friend and musicvideo director of Tupac (2 of Amerikkaz Most Wanted, Made Figgaz for insteance) have been trying to get finances to make a movie about the last 7 days of Tupac's life (the last 6 he was in hospital and not really responsive though).

That would include the first day and focus mainly on what Tupac's friends and family was going through that time.

He's been struggling getting it financed though so it might not ever happen (if AEOM is a hit then the chancer is a bit bigger I suppose), here's the facebook page for it https://www.facebook.com/7dayzmovie/
