It’s a good day for fully authorized movies about famous people to get directors, first with Shekhar Kapur signing on to the Bruce Lee biopic and now with Amaru Entertainment and White Horse Pictures announcing that 12 Years A Slave’s Steve McQueen will direct a documentary about Tupac Shakur. In a press release, McQueen says that he’s “extremely moved and excited to be exploring the life and times of this legendary artist,” and that he’s looking forward to “working closely with [Shakur’s] family to tell the unvarnished story of this talented man.”
