(AlHipHop News) A new film in development will analyze the life of Suge Knight.

Antoine Fuqua will helm the movie, tentatively titled “Suge Knight” and it is expected to dig deep into the life and unseen times of the former Death Row CEO.

The movie is only one in a series of documentaries produced by cable monolith Showtime, which aims to “spotlight iconic and controversial figures from talented and prestigious filmmakers.”

Fuqua will reportedly share producer duties with Bradley J. Fischer, who also worked on “Black Swan” and “Shutter Island.” Journalist Chuck Philips will serve as co-producer.
