The movie division of the revived music company will start shooting the Lynn Stoltz-penned Sons 2 The Grave in Toronto this October, starring Tonya Lee Williams, Dorian Harewood, K.C. Collins and Cameron Miles Jones, The Hollywood Reporter states.
The film, which does not yet have a director, stars Collins as a young basketball player returning to the inner-city after being struck by gunfire in an attack.
Chief executive Lara Lavi said: "This film embodies what we're trying to do with Death Row, to tell human stories that don't always have happy endings, and that allow us to learn from violence and disenfranchised lives, but not glorify it.
"We're looking at film properties that relate to Boyz N The Hood-type stories, and to power the films with Death Row music."
Death Row Records was purchased by the WIDEawake Entertainment Group earlier this year.
