We told you a few weeks back that director John Singleton, the man behind classics like “Boys N Da Hood” and more was on board to direct a movie about the lives of gangsta rappers NWA, alongside actor and former group mate, Ice Cube. Obviously the people who will portray the rappers are key to this movie, and now “Lil Eazy E” is in talks to star as his father. Who better than that?! Details below.
Eazy-E’s son says there’s a “high probability” he’ll play his famous father in an upcoming Hollywood movie about the legendary rap group N.W.A. … telling TMZ, “I’m the perfect man for the role.”
TMZ spoke with Eric Wright Jr. — aka Lil’ Eazy-E — who told us he’s “very excited” that New Line Cinema is moving forward with the flick … which is set to be produced by Eazy’s former N.W.A. group member Ice Cube.
“Who better to play him in the N.W.A. days?” … Lil’ Eazy said … adding, “Like father, like son — no makeup needed.”
The 27-year-old — who’s trained with an acting coach in the past — tells us he’s already been in contact with the movie producers … but he has yet to formally audition for the gig.
Wright was only 11 years old when Eazy died back in 1995 — but he tells us, “I know I’m just like my dad.”
