The “N.W.A. Straight Outta Compton” Movie is Holding Open Auditions, But They’ve Already Begun on YouTube
This weekend, Producer Ice Cube and Director F. Gary Gray's N.W.A. biopic will be holding open auditions for the roles of Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, and DJ Yella. The auditions take place in Gardena on Sunday at Noon (complete flyer/info below), but they've already begun on YouTube from when the film was announced last year. Either the producers haven't bothered with YouTube, or (more likely) they weren't blown away by anything they saw. We went through a few pages of YouTube auditions to give you a sense of what's out there. Based on what we've seen today, the hardest role to cast may end up being Dre.
Here's some vintage N.W.A. on the Arsenio Hall show:
