Dr. Dre tweets ‘Straight Outta Compton’ cast photo

A movie about legendary rap group N.W.A. is finally, really happening. The stars have been cast, as shown in a photo tweeted by Dr. Dre.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the project has been held up for five years because Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E’s widow had final approval over the casting of the actors. The film, set to be directed by F. Gary Gray, is scheduled for an August 2015 release.
