Kanye West: Thriller Inspiration For New Short Film

Kanye West invited a very select group of about 100 journalists and bloggers to the Wednesday-night London screening of his 35-minute art film for the song “Runaway.”

West introduced the film to his London audience by saying, ” ‘Purple Rain,’ [Pink Floyd’s] ‘The Wall,’ and Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’ — I wanted to do a modern version of that.” in the “ambitious … great looking” 35-minute art movie, whose narrative he described as “very loose and abstract.”

“With the passing of Michael Jackson, I feel a responsibility to bring things to our generation that can inspire and bring real culture to pop culture,” West told the audience in London about the film shot over four grueling days in Prague last month. “I want to use my power in a proper way.”
