With the long-awaited film, Straight Outta Compton, set to hit theaters next month, Universal might be planning something pretty big to help promote the movie. According to a new interview in THR, the studio wants to set up a European N.W.A. reunion tour with Dr. Dre, DJ Yella, MC Ren, Ice Cube, and then add Eminem to the mix. The possible reunion tour has yet to be finalized with everyone's busy schedules to deal with, but there is no doubt that this would create considerable buzz for the film. "We don’t have anything settled yet with everyone’s schedules,” Donna Langley from Universal told THR. “But we think it can create a lot of buzz."
Both Eminem and Dre are set to appear on the film's official soundtrack, which will be released around the time of the film and also include an appearance from Kendrick Lamar. Dre and Cube also talked about the Suge Knight situation in the THR interview, with each of them recalling the day the incident happened, though they weren't sure if Knight showed up that day to cause trouble. "It's just a really unfortunate incident," Dre said. "Maybe [Knight] was looking for trouble. I don't know." You can read the full profile here.
