Ice Cube has brought forth some new information regarding the upcoming N.W.A film, which according to Cube himself is trying to tell the story of "the most dangerous group." In an interview with MTV, Cube also noted that the filmmakers are currently in the process of fine-tuning the script. Cube said they recently received "all the rights" necessary for the film and that casting has begun on Jan. 8th.
"We're taking it to the nooks and crannies, I think deeper than any other article or documentary on the group," Cube said in another interview with LA Weekly back in April 2013. "These are the intimate conversations that helped forge N.W.A. To me, I think it's interesting to anybody who loves that era and I don't know any other movie where you can mix Gangster Rap, the F.B.I., L.A. riots, HIV, and f**king feuding with each other. This movie has everything from Darryl Gates and the battering ram."
However, there is no official word yet as to who is playing the lead characters. But MTV is saying, that if it were up to them they'd have Ice Cube's son O'Shea Jackson II play Ice Cube, Michael B. Jordan play Dr. Dre, A$AP Rocky play Eazy-E, Michael Ealy play DJ Yella, and Chadwick Boseman play MC Ren. What do you think of their choices?
During the LA Weekly interview, Ice Cube also spoke about rumors that he would be casting his son to play him in the film. "That's a dream come true, but we're going to find the best actor to do the job," he said. "That's the thing about movies: You have got to find the best people to do the role. It is going to be a role that I think is right for unknowns, people who you haven't seen before. I think that's the best way to pull this off."
