If you haven't been reading up on the film yet, Jamal Woolward, the actor who played Biggie in "Notorious," is reprising his role here as Christopher Wallace. Benny Boom is the film's director, and although he doesn't have as much experience with feature films as F. Gary Gray who made "Straight Outta Compton," Boom has directed some seriously lit music videos. Notably, he directed Nicki Minaj's "Beez In The Trap" and Waka Flocka Flame's "Hard in Da Paint." If you haven't already seen the trailer for "All Eyez On Me," you can peep that below.
