This upset Tupac's heirs, who had surely wanted to retain the rights to make their own version. After gestating in development until 2015, there's little doubt that the success of Universal's N.W.A biopic added to the urgency to bring All Eyez on Me to the big screen, in addition to the option to the rights set to expire. You likely won't hear comments from Shakur's heirs regarding the movie, mainly because a confidentiality clause in the settlement with Morgan Creek forbids them from voicing their thoughts on the film.
