The actors who will portray Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and Eazy-E in the upcoming N.W.A biopic, Straight Outta Compton, were revealed earlier this week, and now Dr. Dre has given us the official release date for the film.
Today, Dre tweeted out a photo of himself, Ice Cube, and director F. Gary Gray, with the three leading men in the film. While the initial report pegged Marcus Callendar as the actor playing Dre, the new image depicts Iron Man 3's Corey Hawkins in character.
