The lawyer for jailed music mogul Marion “Suge” Knight has come forward to speak out on his client’s portrayal in the new box office hit Straight Outta Compton.
In attorney Tom Meserau‘s perspective, the number one movie in the country does not accurately portray Knight.
Suge Knight was completely misportrayed in “Straight Outta Compton,” because he’s not a bad guy, he’s brilliant … so says his lawyer. Tom Mesereau was leaving King’s Road Cafe in West Hollywood Sunday when he told our photog there’s nothing factual about the flick. He then goes on to describe the virtues of his client, who’s currently in jail on murder charges. Mesereau’s a force to be reckoned with … he won acquittals for both Michael Jackson and Robert Blake.

According to reports, the overnight success flick will remain atop its competition in week two.
Straight Outta Compton continues to feel the love at the box office in its second weekend, on track to take in another $26 million in North American theaters. Universal’s N.W.A biopic earned a huge $60.2 million in its first outing. Three R-rated films — a horror sequel, a video game adaptation and a stoner action-comedy — are off to slower starts this weekend, and will all debut behind the hit holdover. (The Hollywood Reporter)
After only 3 full days in theaters, the flick managed to debut at number 1 and surpassed its $28 million budget.
“Straight Outta Compton” lifted the box office out of its August funk, debuting at No. 1 in the U.S. and Canada with an estimated $56.1 million. The movie posted the biggest August opening ever for an R-rated film, and it has become the No. 1 musical biopic. (Los Angeles Times)
Late N.W.A. leader Eazy-E‘s daughter E.B. Wright talked to SOHH last week about her overall support for Straight Outta Compton.
“We were filming it about a year ago and I spent some time on the set, just getting to know Jason Mitchell, who portrays my dad and he really just did a phenomenal job. I couldn’t be more proud and I don’t think there was anyone that could have played my dad better. The overall film is really good. Dr. Dre and Ice Cube and F. Gary Gary, director, they did a really good job. They were really sensitive with the whole story since my dad isn’t alive. His own personal part of the story, they had to sort of build around that so I’m just proud of it. There’s a lot that I feel was left out of his personal storyline but this movie was about N.W.A. as a collective and their brotherhood and how they started and everything they went through.” (SOHH)
