Morgan Creek films recently launched a website where fans and up-and-coming actors can upload audition reels and submit videos for a change to portray iconic rapper, Tupac Shakur, in the Antione Fuqua-directed biopic. With a script by Oscar-nominated writing team Stephen J. Rivele and Chris Wilkinson, the duo behind the Will Smith vehicle, Ali, the legendary MC's story is in good hands.
