 KANYE WEST is currently working on a 40-minute film to accompany his forthcoming fifth studio album entitled 'Dark Twisted Fantasy' - due to be released mid-November. The noir piece is entitled 'Runaway' (not to be confused with West's new single) and was filmed in Prague last month, where reports speculated upon sightings of West filming with a deer, a sheep, and a naked woman. In an interview with NYMag.com West said that: "It's the story of a phoenix fallen to Earth, and I make her my girlfriend, and people discriminate against her and eventually she has to burn herself alive and go back to her world. I've been feeling the idea of the phoenix. It's been in my heart for a while. It's maybe parallel to my career. I threw a Molotov cocktail on my career last year, in a way, and I had to come back as a better person." In further only-Kanye-ness, West acted as the creative director for a 40-page spread for the new issue of XXL magazine, that accompanies a cover story he penned himself where he of course[!] addresses the Taylor Swift/VMA incident: "I stress that the incident wasn't about Taylor personally. And it definitely wasn't about race. Where I messed up is, at the end of the day, it's your show, Taylor. It's your show, MTV."
