According to Variety, Snoop Dogg's biopic, which will be directed by a world-renown director-and the genius behind "Dear Mama," "The Book of Eli," "Dead Presidents," "Menace II Society," and more-Allen Hughs, is finally in motion.
"That's next. We're starting this summer. I'm so excited," Hughes said on the night of his most recent project.

Snoop Dogg on a Roll
This is not the first time the rapper slash entrepreneur has worked on something besides music. After all, Snoop Dogg has been embarking on several different businesses as of late.
"He surprised me with that biopic," Hughes said. "I can't wait to go back to the hood, and do a hood story that becomes inspirational. That's what I get from him."
Snoop Dogg is just as excited as the director is, after all, this project has been in the works for years, but he just couldn't find the perfect mix of people to work with.
"I waited a long time to put this project together because I wanted to choose the right director, the perfect writer, and the greatest movie company I could partner with that could understand the legacy that I'm trying to portray on screen, and the memory I'm trying to leave behind," the rapper said in a statement.
