Subsequently, Rose was in the same year for the now directed by F. Gary Gray turned biopic titled Straight Outta Compton cast as Tupac Shakur. Rose moved to Los Angeles for filming , where the film premiered on August 11, 2015 in the Microsoft Theater . Towards the end of the year there were again rumors that work on the Tupac biography would be continued; In the end, the decision no longer fell on Rose, but on the also largely unknown Demetrius Shipp Jr. for the role of the popular rapper. The film, titled All Eyez on Me , was later completed by director Benny Boom and hit US theaters in June 2017.
