Kanye West creative consultant on toon film
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 9 January 2012
Kanye West has met with the people behind a planned live action movie adaptation of ‘The Jetsons’, a producer of the film has confirmed. A keen admirer of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon, West had already hinted via Twitter that he had worked in a creative capacity on the forthcoming flick. And producer Denise Di Novi has revealed that the rapper did, indeed, take a role in early discussions.
She says: “He was interested in creatively brainstorming what we were doing with the movie and what ideas he might have. It was a really friendly, preliminary conversation. He was going to think about it more and see if he got inspired visually. He’s a very visual artist”. It’s not clear if the brainstorm will actually result in anything.
