Marion "Suge" Knight has signed with Beaux Carson's Carson Signature Films to allow his version of the events surrounding the shooting of rap legend Tupac Shakur to materialize on big screen. Knight was driving the BMW where Shakur was murdered in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas. The 1994 shooting remains unsolved. Carson, describing the film as "Training Day" meets "The Godfather," said he has pursued Knight for two years to get rights for the movie. "We're not pointing any fingers, just telling a story," Carson insists. Knight is also planning a collaboration album featuring rappers from Tupac's time in conjunction with the film, according to Carson. Portions of the proceeds would benefit programs for underprivileged youth. In related news, Knight remains under 24/7 surveillance by the California Department of Corrections in his Beverly Hills home. The rap mogul will serve out the rest of his parole there, following his arrest this month on suspicion of parole violation after marijuana was reportedly found in his vehicle at a traffic stop. The detention requires that Knight submit to random drug testing and stay in his home from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. every day.
