What is the plan?

As reported yesterday, Kanye West is currently in talks with several film companies and locations in the Middle East to film a new short film. Now The Hollywood Reporter has more details, saying that the film will explore the region itself.

The film will reportedly be about thirty minutes long, much like the Runaway short film that accompanied My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and will be set in the region. "He conceived the story, which is set in the Gulf," said a source. "It's supposed to showcase the beauty of the region, a piece that's culturally sensitive and embraces the customs and traditions of the region."
