Kanye West wants his biopic to be a comedy movie
Kanye feels it has to be a comedy and not a preachy film, says a source
He wants the biopic to be just like the movies he loves
They have exchanged multiple emails about the film, which Kanye wants to be a comedy movie filled with lots of funny one-liners and slapstick gags rather than be a rags-to-riches tale about his ascent to the top of the music business.
"Kanye has been thinking about this for a long, long time and he has been trading ideas and discussions with Will to make a funny comedy about his life. But rather than take himself too seriously, he really feels it has to be a comedy and not a preachy film. He wants it to be an easy watch, filled with laughter just like the movies he loves," a source told website Dish Nation.
Kanye has also been discussing his ideas with Will's long-time collaborator Adam McKay as he is a huge fan of the pair's movies, which include Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby and Step Brothers.
