AceShowbiz - The first trailer for Tupac Shakur's biopic "All Eyez on Me" has been released online for viewing pleasure. The minute-long teaser opens with a scene of FBI raiding Tupac's house when he was a little.
"Get your hands off my kids," Tupac's mother Afeni Shakur, played by Danai Gurira, shouts to the FBI. "Son, this ain't just about you," Afeni is heard telling Tupac, "Like all black men, you have a bullseye on your back. They are going to give you the tools you need to destroy yourself. Above all else, to thine own self be true. Now, let me see your spirit."
The trailer then sees concertgoers chanting Tupac's name. He shows up shirtless before the footage sees him being arrested by FBI. "You said, and I quote, 'If they kill me, I want the people to know the real story,' " he says at the end of the trailer.
Directed by Benny Boom, "All Eyez on Me", also starring Jamal Woolard as The Notorious B.I.G., Stefon Washington as P. Diddy, Katerina Graham as Jada Pinkett Smith and Dominic L. Santana as Suge Knight, is coming to U.S. theaters on November 11.
