Biggie

Smalls and Tupac Shakur will be

coming to the big screen. Investigative journalist Kathy Scott

has sold the rights to her books, "The Killing Of Tupac Shakur"

and "The Murder Of Biggie Smalls" to producers Jon Sheinberg

and Beaux Carson. The books will be combined to produce a feature

film titled "Record Wars". Shakur, which is already

available, and "The Murder Of Biggie Smalls", which

hit shelves yesterday, (October 18th, 2000), details both artists

rise to fame, and their downfalls.

Scott

is familiar with both artists, as she worked for the Las Angeles

Sun when Tupac and Biggie were gunned down, and she covered the

story for the paper. Sheinberg has produced such films as "Flipper",

"Mchale’s Navy" "A Simple Wish" and "Playing

Mona Lisa." No date as to when the project will begin production,

or when it is scheduled to hit the theaters is available.
