The kids of N.W.A. stars Dr Dre, Ice Cube and Eazy E are in talks to play their fathers in a new biopic about the gangsta rap group.

Ice Cube is set to produce the upcoming movie about the Compton, California natives' rise to fame in the late 1980s, his departure from the band in 1989 and its subsequent split in 1991, and Lil' Eazy-E, real name Eric Wright, Jr, has already put his name forward to portray his father in the biopic.

Last year , he told TMZ.com, "I'm the perfect man for the role. Who better to play him (Eazy E) in the N.W.A. days? Like father, like son - no make-up needed. I know I'm just like my dad."

And Wright, Jr, who was just 11 years old when his famous father died from AIDS in 1995, could be rubbing shoulders with Ice Cube and Dr Dre's sons.

The reclusive rap icon tells the website, "We're talking about it... We'll see what happens."
