Straight Outta Compton behind the scenes

2022-01-27 08:02
The original script had scenes of Dr. Dre and Eminem, and the crew also invited the "Fault in the Stars" actor Ansel Elgert to star in Eminem, but this scene was deleted after the script was changed.
Among the main actors in the film, the actor O'Shera Jackson Jr. who plays Ice Cube is the son of Cube himself, and the other main actors are selected through public audits.
The crew invited "Fantastic Four 2015" actor Michael B. Jordan to star in Dr. Dre, but he refused because there was no schedule.
Lil Eazy-E, Eazy-E's son, also participated in the film audition but failed. Eventually he served as a tutor for actor Jason Mitchell.
The prop "Jheri Curl" wig used in the film cost 15,000 US dollars.
The white Ferrari that appears in the film is Dr Dre's car.
The film was released in 2015 as the 20th anniversary of the death of Eazy-E.
In order to perform better, the main actors of the film sang NWA's "Straight Outta Compton" album together.
Before starting up, O'Shera Jackson Jr. lost 15 pounds in 22 days and only consumed 1,200 calories a day. And Jason Mitchell, who plays Eazy-E, consumes 4000 calories a day to gain weight.
Director Gray watched Jason Mitchell’s audition video and invited him to fly to Los Angeles for an interview, but in order to save money, the two chatted through Skype for more than an hour and decided to play Eazy E by Mitchell.
In the film, there is a movie poster from the movie "The Ghost Baby 2" on the wall of the Easy-E studio.

    I'm too lazy to think about the social issues behind it. The first half has been shaking my legs, but it's still fun to watch. After the infighting in the second half, I feel it's too long and boring.

    Making your own biopic is too easy to beautify the facts. For example, Dr. Dre will never write about abandoning his children and hitting reporters. At the same time, Cube will not describe the embarrassment of being laughed at by the rap world and not recognized by Hollywood in his later years and only making bad movies. Eazy-E will not talk about how many women scold him for deliberately infecting HIV. It is better to treat it as a fiction.

Straight Outta Compton quotes

  • Jerry Heller: You just gotta slow down, you can't bang every broad on the planet.

    Eazy-E: What, getting pussy is a problem now?

    Jerry Heller: Well, look it's gonna be a problem if you've got 10,000 kids. Right? You make some money, you have all these kids, you gotta go and take care of em. It's fine... I'll help you take care of em. Hey, Cube.

    Ice Cube: Sorry to interrupt y'all lobster brunch... but what's up E, where the contracts at man? You forgot about me?

    Eazy-E: I'm not trying to answer this... you know what? Jerry, can you deal with this?

    Ice Cube: I'm not talking to Jerry, I'm talking to you.

    Eazy-E: That's Jerry's job!

    Jerry Heller: You know what, that is my department, you're completely right to ask about that Cube. The contracts are being finished as we speak. The thing is, with the contracts these lawyers go through them. Pouring over it, they'll bleed us dry, but it'll get done. I wish I got paid the way they do, you know?

    Ice Cube: Hmm, me too. I just wanna know what's going on since I did write a lot of the songs on this album.

    Jerry Heller: Everybody knows how important you are, Cube

    Ice Cube: They do?

    Eazy-E: That's what's goin on.

    Jerry Heller: We just need some time.

    Ice Cube: Everything probably alright. I must be trippin.

    [takes a sip of their champagne]

    Ice Cube: Shit tastes pretty good. Maybe someday, right? Y'all enjoy your meal.

    [leaves]

    Jerry Heller: [chuckles] I'm tellin ya, that guy wants to be you, very freakin' badly.

    Eazy-E: As if I ain't got enough fuckin' problems.

    [to waiter]

    Eazy-E: Excuse me, can I get another round?

  • Jerry Heller: [Eazy is at Jerry's pool after getting jumped by Suge and his crew, Jerry holds a gun up to his head, then retracts it upon noticing Eazy] Oh, Jesus Eric, you scared me. You okay?

    Eazy-E: I gotta kill this motherfucker Suge Knight. I just wanted to come over and tell you first cause, shit might get a lil' thick.

    Jerry Heller: No, no I'm not gonna let you do that.

    Eazy-E: I didn't come over here to ask for your permission, I came to let you know! You wanna come and get involved in this gangster shit, well, here we go.

    Jerry Heller: No Eric, you're not in Compton anymore. Just in case ya haven't looked around, drop that shit, okay? We don't hit back with guns, we hit back with lawyers, that's what gets em'.

    Eazy-E: You think I got a fuckin choice?

    [points]

    Eazy-E: Look at my face!

    [Eazy's nose was bloodied]

    Eazy-E: It ain't about the money, Jerry! I don't care about that, this is bigger than all of that...

    Jerry Heller: No that's ridiculous, and you should fuckin' care about the money. You're so much smarter than these fuckin' thugs... if you kill this man, his problems will be over, and yours will just be beginning.

    Eazy-E: Why do I gotta be the bigger man?

    Jerry Heller: Because it's better than you being a dead man. I don't want you fuckin' dead.
