It Comes at Night director wants to make a Kanye West Biopic.
Filmmaker Trey Edward Schults also thinks Yeezy will be a big fan of his next project.
Say whatever you want about one of the most controversial pop-stars on the planet, but a biopic about Kanye West would surely be something to behold. Its also something that doesn't seem that out of that question now that director Trey Edward Shults ( It Comes at Night) has expressed some interest in the idea.
In an interview with the Independent, the rising star in indie cinema spoke about his passion for the potential project. "I have a dream of doing a Kanye West biopic" he says"My dream is he will somehow see and like my movies and let me pick his brain apart — to make the ultimate one-of-a-kind biopic we haven’t yet seen [that will] explore this man. I think it’d be amazing."
Schults even wants to set up a meet and greet at some point "I just want to chill out with Kanye and make something great. I think he’ll like this next movie that I’m writing".
Known for much more intimate, small scale gems , the 28-year old has been making waves since his 2015 directorial debut Krisha, a film with a cast made up of many of his relatives. More recently he made an even bigger splash with this year's It Comes at Night , a tense post-apocalyptic chiller that you wont quickly forgot after seeing it.
