Ice Cube and director F. Gary Gray have cast the iconic rapper's son O'Shea Jackson Jr. to play the original N.W.A. member in Universal's biopic “Straight Outta Compton,” multiple individuals familiar with the long-gestating project have told TheWrap. Universal did not confirm the casting. Gray (“The Italian Job”) is directing from a script by Jonathan Herman, which Ice Cube has previously described as a comprehensive “dramatic story that encompasses hip-hop, dope-dealing, Reaganomics, AIDS, Lapd, rap feuds, FBI, Pmrc, the Parental Advisory stickers on the records… all of it.” Ice Cube revealed in February that he was pushing for his son to play him in.
