Buzz last month revealed Jamal “Gravy” Woolard would reprise his Notorious role as late hip-hop artist Notorious B.I.G. in the upcoming 2Pac biopic, All Eyez On Me.

Jamal Woolard will be reprising his role as Christopher Wallace in Morgan Creek Productions’, “All Eyez on Me.” Woolard got rave reviews in 2009 when he played the namesake role in “Notorious.” We’re told producers were so blown away by Woolard’s Biggie performance, he was the top choice when it came to casting.

In early December, production company Morgan Creek announced it had replaced director Carl Franklin for the film.

The company, which has been working for years to bring the late rapper’s story to the big screen, is operating with a sense of urgency given that the music rights will revert back to Shakur’s mother, Afeni Shakur, at the end of the year if the film isn’t in production by then. Carl Franklin was poised to direct as recently as the summer, picking up the baton after John Singleton dropped out in April and trashed Morgan Creek in the process. (Billboard)

Director Benny Boom confirmed recent buzz about being hired to direct on social media last month.
