Ego Cinema
hecklerspray reports: Kanye West making a movie? We're not so sure that'd work. After all, Kanye has an ego so huge that we have a slight feeling that a Kanye West movie would just consist of two hours of Kanye's giant, unsmiling face staring into a camera for the audience to bow down and worship. But that's something we'll have to see for ourselves - because Kanye West is making a movie.

Kanye West has teamed up with New Line Cinema and Anonymous Content to make a film inspired by his music. ABC reports the Kanye West movie as being:

Press Release reports: Tre Hardson has announced an April 4th release for his highly anticipated new album, SlimKid3's Café.
