New Film To Focus On The Last Week Of Tupac’s Life “7Dayz”

Tupac’s old video director, Gobi Rahimi, is trying fund a new film about the rapper’s last seven days. Time and time again, we’ve seen Tupac films falter very soon out of the gate, hopefully things are different this time around.

Rahimi writes:

“A few weeks before Pac was shot, I wrote the letter that Tupac signed, firing Suge Knight and his lawyer David Kenner. After that, the tension between Tupac and his label soared to new heights.

I was waiting for Tupac at club 662 in Las Vegas after the Mike Tyson fight on September 7, 1996. Soon after, I was informed by rapper Nate Dogg that Tupac and Suge Knight had been shot and taken to University Hospital. I immediately rushed there to be by Tupac’s side. This was the first of an emotional 7 days that I sat guard over Tupac who was in an induced coma, riding the line between life and death. 7Dayz is the story of my experience at the hospital amidst death threats, undercover FBI informants and an uncooperative Police Department.”

Watch the trailer, and be sure to fund the project if you want to see it in theaters.
