50 Cent and Snoop Dogg are teaming up to bring us "A Moment In Time: Murder was the Case."
It is the 2nd installment in the Starz' anthology series about behind the scenes criminal events of real moments in hip hop history.
Set in 1993, it will tell the story of when Snoop Dogg was charged with first degree murder for the shooting of Philip Woldermariam, a member of a rival gang. He was actually killed by Snoop’s bodyguard, McKinley Lee, aka Malik.
The trial took place during the release of Snoop Dogg's debut album, "Doggystyle" which included the smash hit "Murder was the Case." The publicity of the trial helped the album sell over 5 million copies.
50 Cent is excited to tell this story to the world...
“‘Murder was the Case’ is an incredible story. Snoop had the biggest album in the country and was fighting for his freedom in the courtroom,” said 50 Cent. “The only place to go on this incredible ride is with G-Unit Film & Television. I’m excited to be working with Snoop to bring it to television. #GLG.”
Snoop shared the same sentiments...
“I am excited to finally tell the story of ‘Murder was the Case,’” added Snoop. This was a pivotal moment in my life and career and I’ve deliberately waited until I found the right partner to bring this to the screen. #GLG. You are now about to witness the strength of street knowledge.”
Snoop, Shante Broadus and Sara Ramaker will executive produce through Snoopadelic Films alongside 50 Cent through his G-Unit Film & Television. Anthony Wilson will executive produce from Lionsgate Television in development for STARZ.
