We don't get a lot of chances to write about Kanye West on this site. He hasn't appeared in any of the Fast and the Furious films, and it's been awhile since he had a meltdown on live television. But now he's stepping into the world of filmmaking. I think.
Posted below, we have the trailer for West's latest vanity project Runaway, a 40-minute short film he's been shopping around. He's worked with a lot of talented directors throughout his career, so why did he choose to direct this himself? Despite the obvious reason.
"I know some of my images, my ideas, were so amateur, no director would want to do this for me. So I had to do it myself. I'd rather it be my vision and my dream and be sub par, than for it to be someone else's vision and perfect."
The same quote can also be applied to Brett Ratner's work on X-Men 3.
Check out the trailer after the jump…

Where the Wild Things Are arrived this past weekend, and it pretty much turned out to be a therapy session with a bunch of clinically depressed forty-somethings dressed like furries. So when we heard that "We Were Once a Fairytale," the Spike Jonze-directed film starring Kanye West, hit the Web today, it was the news equivalent of a Xanax. We have the 11-minute piece here, minus the first minute or so. Spoiler alert: it's effing weird.
