The producers of “All Eyez on Me”, a biopic about the late rapper Tupac Shakur, have attempted to kick a copyright suit brought by a journalist out of court.

Lions Gate Films and Morgan Creek Productions, along with two others, claimed that magazine writer Kevin Powell had failed to state a claim and have requested a dismissal, in a filing made on Monday, August 7.
