Cast Update On The Tupac-Biggie Movie

Though there is no official title at the time of writing the Unsolved: The Murders of Biggie and Tupac is the current working one USA Network’s true-life crime drama Unsolved is beginning to beef up its ensemble cast.

Deadline is reporting that the network has added another three: Luke James, Aisha Hinds and Letoya Luckett. it’s understood James has closed a deal to play Sean “Puffy” Combs, the young and wildly successful founder of Bad Boy Records, the label of Christopher Wallace. Hinds, meanwhile, has climbed aboard to play the coveted part of Wallace’s grieving mother, Voletta Wallace, who became a vocal campaigner for justice after her son was fatally shot during a drive-by shooting in ’97. Finally, Deadline notes that Letoya Luckett is attached to portray Sharitha Golden, the “estranged wife of Death Row records CEO Suge Knight.”

Penned by Kyle Long, Unsolved largely revolves around the gruelling investigation into the murder of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur, who will be brought to life by Wavyy Jonez and Marcc Rose, respectively. Much of Long’s script will draw inspiration from Murder Rap: The Untold Story of Biggie Smalls & Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations, the true-life biopic written by former LAPD Detective Greg Kading. Josh Duhamel will bring that character to life on the small screen, and is expected to lead multiple law-enforcement task forces investigating the murders.
