Per Universal, the movie's description reads as follows: "Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., 'Straight Outta Compton' tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war."

Eazy-E's widow, Tomica Woods-Wright, is producing alongside Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. Earlier this year, Ice Cube said that the movie would begin filming this July and that the team spent six months casting. "We're telling the story from the inception of N.W.A. to the death of Eazy-E and that's the story," he said.

I haven't seen a good ghetto movie in a long time, this sounds promising. The VH1 documentary narrated by Chris Rock was really good. I like the casting with Ice Cube Jr playing his dad. We'll have to wait and see if these guys can act however.
