Filmmaker Steve McQueen is all set to direct a documentary on rapper Tupac Shakur.
The "12 Years a Slave" helmer will take charge of the film on the musician that will be supported by the late rapper's estate, reported Billboard.
"I am extremely moved and excited to be exploring the life and times of this legendary artiste. I attended NYU film school in 1993 and can remember the unfolding hip-hop world and mine overlapping with Tupac's through a mutual friend in a small way.
"Few, if any shined brighter than Tupac Shakur. I look forward to working closely with his family to tell the unvarnished story of this talented man," said McQueen.
Shakur Estate trustee Tom Whalley and Amaru Entertainment have announced that White Horse Pictures and Jayson Jackson will team up to produce a fully authorised documentary on the life of the "Dear Mama" hitmaker.
Tupac was killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996 at the age of 25.
