Stallone and Thugz

Sylvester Stallone says he'll direct and star in the film about the deaths of Biggie and Tupac, and the LA Police Department corruption scandal that is
rumoured lies beneath the subsequent investigation into their murders.
With the working title 'Thugz Lives', the story will centre on the theory that Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur were killed as part of a gang-police-rap
power triangle.
Sly says most of the cast will be new faces from the hip-hop community and he realises the soundtrack's going to be crucial to the film:
Stallone said: "The hip-hop soundtrack would push the story along also. It's
gonna conjure up memories, because we have to use Tupac, Biggie, you have to use music from that era, and then kind of segue into new stuff, but it's got
to have the feel of stuff from '97, so it's more old skool."
Marty's band, Growing Old Disgracefully, can be found at: Disgraceful Music. His Cthulhu tales can be found at Temple of Dagon.
