Craig Brewer has been tapped by Universal Pictures to direct a biopic about Snoop Dogg. The film is being produced by Snoop himself, along with Brian Grazer and Death Row Pictures president Sara Ramaker.
This is the first project under Death Row Pictures’ overall deal with NBCUniversal. Brewer’s previous directing work includes “Hustle & Flow,” starring Terrance Howard, and “Dolemite Is My Name,” which starred Eddie Murphy.
The film represents a new chapter for Death Row Records as it expands into broader entertainment ventures, while Snoop has recently signed a big deal with NBCUniversal that includes returning to “The Voice” and more!
