Kanye do it? Yes he can: rapper moves into movies

If you've a problem with that late-in-the-day headline, then JUMP, foo'.
Kanye West is to venture into the world of movie making. Currently up his sleeve is a wee project about... wait for it... himself. The film will be the work of a dozen directors and a handful of writers, overseen by West, and will bring to the screen America as seen through the rapper's own eyes, backed by his own songs.
The as-yet-untitled film's producer, Richard Brown, said: "This project will synthesize Kanye's vision with a fantastic group of filmmakers and create what will be a one-of-a-kind film experience."
Brown, whose credits include the acclaimed Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, was speaking to Billboard.
Kanye West, whose previous credits include some song about not being a broke person, is HOT.

Rage Against Reading: relive, contrast and compare previous performances
hmm
will he just lift already successful scenes from other films and mumble incoherent rubbish over the top and pretend to be hip and homofriendly whilst objectifying women then? if so IT'LL BE A HIT! WOOH!
I blurry love
Eternal Sunshine.
can they please call it
WESTWORLD?
you think KanYe's hot
ARE YOU A GAY????????????
Who knows?
But my brother strongly believes that Kanye IS gay
Weird
maybe
its because he is so very stylish.
and
he has such lovely teeth
Vanity projects...
I love Prince, but Purple Rain was a (hilarious) mistake. For some reason, I get the feeling this will be a similar project. West has already 'found god', so maybe his musical output won't go down the pan quite the same way as the P-man after this...
'Sign O' The Times' was plop as well. Is 'Under The Cherry Moon' any good?
I love this man.
End of story.
You dont need to tell us
its kinda presumed these days...however, kanye is actually good, so its slightly more disturbing...
under the cherry moon
is NOT good. at all.
Purple Rain, though, is... ish. Comparatively.
Haha
If only.
