One, two, three, and to the four, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Craig Brewer is at the door.

Universal Pictures has enlisted the Hustle & Flow filmmaker to direct a biopic about Snoop Dogg, the pioneering West Coast rapper, Entertainment Weekly has confirmed. Brewer will revise a screenplay penned by Joe Robert Cole, the writer known for his work on Black Panther and The People vs. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Snoop, who previously acted in a supporting role in Brewer’s Dolemite Is My Name, will produce the film alongside Brian Grazer and Sara Ramaker. Snoop was previously depicted in another Universal hip-hop biopic: the 2015 hit Straight Outta Compton, which followed the rise of N.W.A and featured LaKeith Stanfield as the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” musician.

Menace II Society co-director Allen Hughes was previously attached to direct the Snoop biopic.

After making his feature directorial debut with 2000’s The Poor & Hungry, Brewer rose to prominence with his sophomore feature, 2005’s Hustle & Flow. The film, which followed an aspiring rapper, won the Oscar for Best Original Song (for Frayser Boy, Juicy J, and DJ Paul’s track “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp”), and also landed a Best Actor nomination for star Terrence Howard.

Brewer then helmed 2006’s Black Snake Moan, a black comedy starring Samuel L. Jackson, Christina Ricci, and Justin Timberlake. The film continued the director’s emphasis on music, as Jackson’s character in the film was a blues guitarist.

Brewer’s next feature was 2011’s Footloose, a remake of the 1984 classic about an outsider introducing dance to a conservative small town. 

The filmmaker spent much of the 2010s focusing on the small screen, most notably reuniting with Howard on the popular hip-hop Fox series Empire, on which he served as a director and producer on numerous episodes.

Brewer helmed his first biopic with 2019’s Dolemite Is My Name, which starred Eddie Murphy as blaxploitation legend Rudy Ray Moore. Brewer reteamed with Murphy on Coming 2 America, a long-in-the-works sequel to the classic 1988 comedy Coming to America.

A 16-time Grammy nominee, Snoop Dogg rose to fame upon collaborating with Dr. Dre on the producer’s 1992 solo album, The Chronic, and his own 1993 debut album, Doggystyle. He has released 21 studio albums to date, and has also acted in a number of movies, including Training Day and The Beach Bum.
