A movie about Snoop Dogg is officially in the works! Universal Pictures has scheduled it to hit theaters on August 6, 2027. The biopic will tell the story of the rapper, businessman, and cultural icon, taking over a previously reserved spot for another unannounced film.
Jonathan Daviss, who starred in the Netflix series Outer Banks, is set to portray a leading role as one of hip-hop’s biggest icons. The movie will be directed by Craig Brewer, who also rewrote the original screenplay by Joe Robert Cole. Brewer has experience with music-focused films like Hustle & Flow and Song Sung Blue, and this new project will feature songs from Snoop Dogg’s extensive musical collection.
This movie has significant support behind it. It’s the first project coming from Death Row Pictures’ new partnership with NBCUniversal, and a well-respected producer, Brian Grazer (known for films like 8 Mile), is involved, alongside Snoop Dogg and the president of Death Row Pictures, Sara Ramaker. This strong team suggests they’re aiming to create a major film, not just a quick profit from Snoop Dogg’s popularity.
Universal Pictures has a strong history with biographical films, having successfully produced movies like Straight Outta Compton and 8 Mile. They recently achieved another major hit with the Michael Jackson biopic, Michael, which earned over $1 billion globally. By making a film about Snoop Dogg, the studio is hoping to continue this success, believing his life story will resonate with audiences.
Snoop hits US theaters on August 6, 2027 via Universal Pictures. Stay tuned for an official trailer.
