In a major coup for British cinema, the long-awaited biopic of West Coast hip-hop icon Snoop Dogg is set to hit UK screens on 6 August 2027. With 'Snoop' rolling out across the nation that summer, fans can get ready to immerse themselves in the unbridled energy and creative genius of one of music's most influential figures.
Behind the camera, Craig Brewer – the mastermind behind films like Coming 2 America and Dolemite Is My Name – will bring Snoop's remarkable story to life. As previously announced last year, Jonathan Daviss (of Netflix's Outer Banks) will take on the starring role of Snoop, earning a nod of approval from the legendary rapper himself.
This major movie milestone marks an exciting new chapter for Universal Pictures and its recently inked deal with Death Row Pictures – the brainchild of none other than Snoop Dogg. With Brian Grazer (producer extraordinaire behind 8 Mile) on board, this biopic is set to be a real showstopper.
The question on everyone's lips remains: what can we expect from 'Snoop'? Will the film offer an in-depth look at the rapper's illustrious career spanning decades or focus on a pivotal chapter? Fans will be eagerly awaiting further updates as production continues to roll.
But Snoop Dogg's cinematic exploits aren't stopping there! The rap legend is also set to star in a new horror film from director Eli Roth (known for his work on Hostel and Cabin Fever). Initially involved as a producer, it was later revealed that Snoop will take on an on-screen role, adding another string to his cinematic bow. With filming set to kick off this summer, fans can expect even more thrills from the ultimate haunted house movie.
