Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center) will write "Straight Outta Compton", a musical biopic about the rise and fall of the trailblazzing 80's rap group N.W.A says The Hollywood Reporter.
Over twenty years ago the group members Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella , released the "Straight Outta Compton" album which introduced gangsta rap to pop culture.
In 1990 Ice Cube left due to royalty disputes and later came further infighting between the remaining members. The group's members were frequently accused of promoting misogyny, homophobia, anti-Semitism and violence.
It wasn't until Eazy-E's death from AIDS related causes that the ex-members began to reconcile.
Cube and Matt Alvarez are producing along with Eazy-E's widow Tomica Woods- Wright
No director is yet attached.
