Fuqua is set to come aboard "Southpaw," a fictional boxing drama written and conceived by "Sons of Anarchy" creator Kurt Sutter, starring the Detroit rapper. The DreamWorks film aims to shoot later this year, according to a source briefed on the film who requested anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak about it publicly. Fuqua has no formal deal in place as yet.
A studio spokeswoman declined comment.
The Fuqua attachment would throw into question the fate of the Tupac movie, which, after several stops and starts, was set to shoot later this year.
