Straight Outta Compton will hit theaters on August 14, 2015, with F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off) directing.

In that photo you see, clockwise from top left, producer Ice Cube, director F. Gary Gray, producer Dr. Dre, Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre), Jason Mitchell (Eazy-E) and O’Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube).

Here’s the official info from Universal:
In the mid-1980s, the streets of Compton, California, were some of the most dangerous in the country. When five young men translated their experiences growing up into brutally honest music that rebelled against abusive authority, they gave an explosive voice to a silenced generation. Following the meteoric rise and fall of N.W.A., STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON tells the astonishing story of how these youngsters revolutionized music and pop culture forever the moment they told the world the truth about life in the hood and ignited a cultural war.

Starring O’Shea Jackson Jr., Corey Hawkins and Jason Mitchell as Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and Eazy-E, STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON is directed by F. Gary Gray (Friday, Set It Off, The Italian Job). The drama is produced by original N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, who are joined by fellow producers Matt Alvarez and Tomica Woods-Wright. Will Packer serves as executive producer of the film alongside Gray.

I watched the trailer and i can say that it looks very cool. Those guys look very similar to the guys they play. It looks interesting;)
 
Saw the TV spot on MTV a couple days ago and then saw the trailer before Furious 7 tonight. Definitely going to check this out when it comes to theaters.

N.W.A. Reuniting for Performance at BET Experience

https://www.yahoo.com/music/s/n-w-reuniting-performance-bet-experience-175053913.html
N.W.A. is reuniting later this month for a show at the BET Experience.

Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella will perform tracks from their 1988 album “Straight Outta Compton” at the Staples Center on June 27, Ice Cube told Rolling Stone.

Although Dr. Dre isn’t scheduled to participate, Ice Cube said “you never know” whether he’ll make a surprise appearance.

“It’s like, I hope he blesses us with his presence,” he said. “But if not, I’ve been rockin’ for a long time without anybody. So whoever shows up, I’m still gonna rock. Whoever don’t show up, we still gonna rock.”

This could be the first time all surviving group members have performed together in 26 years.

Ice Cube also teased that N.W.A. is “dibbling and dabbling” on the soundtrack for their upcoming biopic “Straight Outta Compton.” The film, which hits theaters on August 14, stars Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson Jr. and Corey Hawkins (as Dre).

That's awesome. I seriously can't wait for this film. I recently bought my mate the up in smoke tour for his bday (we used to watch it all the time when we were at school on VHS lol) and hopefully we will watch it before watching this.
Cheers @bloodsnake007
 
It's unfortunate that Dr Dre has officially confirmed there will be no Detox album.

Will be interesting to see what the Compton inspired album is like...5 days to go!
