Andrea Berloff, the screenwriter of
Oliver Stone’s
World Trade Center, has signed on to pen another real-life script, albeit one that couldn’t be more different: the story of rap group N.W.A.
The movie is called
Straight Outta Compton, named after the California-based rappers’ biggest hit song.
Original group members who will be portrayed include
Dr. Dre,
Ice Cube and the late
Eazy-E.
World Trade Center was Berloff’s most well-known script to date, but it turned her into one of the most in-demand writers: She now has four major projects lined up, including
Straight Outta Compton.
