Kanye West starring in a movie

Kanye West has signed on to appear in and executive produce a film that is inspired by his own music. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the still-untitled movie will be pieced together as a “multiperspective portrait of the United States as seen through the eyes of West and several filmmakers.” Six writers and 10-12 directors will create short stories that will be linked by a central story, with new and previously released music from West appearing throughout the scenes.

The movie will be executive produced by George C. Wolfe, who directed HBO’s Emmy-winning “Lackawanna Blues.” “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,” one of the film’s producers, Richard Brown, told the Reporter. It has not yet been determined what West’s role in the film will be.
