A biopic based on\u00a0Snoop Dogg<\/a>\u2018s life and career has set a release date for summer 2027.<\/p>\n

A film about the legendary rapper was confirmed as going ahead last year by Universal Pictures<\/a> with Coming 2 America,\u00a0Hustle & Flow,\u00a0Footloose\u00a0and\u00a0Dolemite Is My Name director Craig Brewer at the helm.<\/p>\n

Outer Banks<\/a> actor Jonathan Daviss was also cast in the lead role.<\/p>\n

Following the casting being made public, Snoop took to social media at the time to post pictures of himself with the young actor: \u201cLet\u2019s go nefew [nephew]! It\u2019s time!\u201d. Daviss wrote in his own post<\/a>: \u201cBow wow wow\u201d.<\/p>\n

Now, a release date has been confirmed with the biopic set to land in cinemas on August 6 2027.<\/p>\n

Entitled Snoop, the biopic is the first under the studio\u2019s overall deal with Death Row Pictures, the rapper\u2019s content label. Imagine Entertainment\u2019s Brian Grazer, who worked on 8 Mile, will produce the movie along with Snoop Dogg and Death Row Pictures President Sara Ramaker.<\/p>\n

According to Variety<\/a>, plot details are yet to be confirmed, so it\u2019s unclear if the movie will take a wide-ranging look at Snoop\u2019s career or focus on one chapter in his life.<\/p>\n

A Snoop-focused biopic was\u00a0first announced in 2022<\/a>, with\u00a0Black Panther<\/a>\u00a0co-writer Joe Robert Cole penning the script. At the time, Allen Hughes (Menace II Society, The Defiant Ones) was attached to direct.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, earlier this year it was confirmed the rapper is set to star in a new film from horror director Eli Roth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was initially announced that Snoop would be a producer on the project and would also be contributing to its soundtrack. But Roth (Hostel,\u00a0Cabin Fever) also revealed that the rapper would also appear onscreen.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been wanting to do Death Row Films for a long time,\u201d Roth said at the time. \u201cI said we need to make the ultimate haunted house movie, like the craziest one, something that mixes House, House by the Cemetery, Hausu\u00a0and Friday The 13th, like something so insane people can\u2019t believe it exists.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we\u2019d have to call it,\u00a0Don\u2019t Go in That House, Bitch!\u201d Roth continued. \u201cAnd he\u2019s going to star in it.\u201d Roth went on to unveil a few details about the film, which is expected to start filming over the summer. Summing it up, he added: \u201cPeople keep going in the house. People don\u2019t listen. What are you doing, bitch? Don\u2019t go in that house.\u201d<\/p>\n
