Exclusive: John Singleton Clears Things Up About Directing N.W.A. Biopic(Video)

Posted byBy Joe Cohen | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

[Exclusive] John Singleton, who is just coming off of doing the Action triller Abduction, claims that the sequel is coming soon despite falling a little short in the box office.

So what’s next for Singelton? Singleton says ” I just might do another hood movie.” Word surfaced on the web about Singleton being in talks to direct Ice Cube’s N.W.A. biopic, which seems only natural considering Singleton’s resume which includes Boyz n the Hood, Poetic Justice, Higher Learning and Four Brothers.   In an exclusive interview with WHOGOTTHEROLE, Singleton explained his position when asked about upcoming N.W.A. project:

“I can’t talk too prematurely about the stuff I’m doing because nothing’s come to fruition yet, but Cube and I are talking about doing the N.W.A. story… The script is really, really, good, so we’re just figuring it out. New Line really wants to make it.”

Cube and Singleton have been in talks for over four years about the N.W.A. movie, but for some reason the veteran film maker still hasn’t been hired as the director as of yet. Stories started to pop up on the web stating that Singleton is not a shoe-in for the position, so WHOGOTTHEROLE caught up with Singleton to get to the bottom of this mystery.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
