Straight Outta Compton is slated to roll into theaters on August 14, 2015 and Ice Cube has finally given us a glimpse at what is to come. The rapper co-produced the forthcoming project with fellow former NWA member Dr. Dre. The duo teamed up with F. Gary Gray, who directed Friday, The Italian Job, and more to bring the group’s story to the big screen. Straight Outta Compton will focus on the formation of the group, the backlash they faced, internal issues, and more.
The film itself has faced some heat as many people are a little wary of the cast. O’Shea Jackson, Cube’s son, and Paul Giamatti are the only two cast members that are known. Thankfully since both Cube and Dre lived through all of the events highlighted in the movie, it should be accurate unlike that horrific Aaliyah biopic.
