Snoop Dogg is going to be the subject of a new movie from director Allen Hughes and screenwriter Joe Robert Cole, as The Hollywood Reporter notes. The biopic will feature music from the Long Beach rapper’s catalog. The film will come from Universal Pictures, which handled the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton; Snoop Dogg was portrayed by Lakeith Stanfield in the 2015 film.

Snoop Dogg has released several projects this year, including BODR, Metaverse: The NFT Drop, Vol. 1, Snoop Dogg Presents Death Row Summer 2022, Metaverse: The NFT Drop, Vol. 2, and Gangsta Grillz: I Still Got It. Coming up, on December 9, he and his Mount Westmore bandmates (Ice Cube, E-40, and Too $hort) will release a new album called Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort.
