Will Ferrell is Kanye West!

Kanye West wants fellow god Will Ferrell to play him in a biopic

Kanye West seems to be recovering nicely after falling ill at his own concert earlier this month. He’s about to kick off a five-night stint in California, then he’ll basically be performing through the end of the year. Clearly, this is a man who bleeds—or at least endures nausea—for his fans and art. That kind of dedication is usually the stuff of biopics, but not for West. If and when his life is dramatized for the big screen, the Life Of Pablo rapper wants a humorous take on it. That’s according to Metro, which cites a Daily Star report that West not only wants a comedic biopic, but he wants Will Ferrell to play him in the film.

The U.K. publication’s source is supposedly a Kanye West insider, who claims that the platinum-selling artist is eschewing a preachy rendition of his life in favor of something that will make people (intentionally) laugh. And Ferrell—who had West join him in a journalist brouhaha in Anchorman 2—is purportedly the man/exalted being for the job. West, who’s declared himself a god on at least one occasion, gave Ferrell deity status in a tweet back in February, so it’s not hard to see why he would feel comfortable having the actor play him. He also just seems to be a really big fan.

Frequent Ferrell collaborator Adam McKay is supposedly in talks to direct the biopic, which is not even in preproduction, so take this news with a grain or two of salt. But given that Joseph Fiennes is set to play Michael Jackson in a 9/11 dramedy, there’s no reason this Ferrell-as-West movie can’t get off the ground

I think the only celeb I dislike more than Will Ferrell is Kanye West.....so this would be like the seventh level of Hell for me.

 

[Fincher]

It's just crazy enough to work.

The question, who wants to watch the biopic of a moron?
What did he do in his life that deserves it?

 

[Arachnerd]

Kanye West is more moronically insane than I thought.

Pretty much only revolutionized the sound of modern hip-hop (and still going).

Yeah, because hip-hop is great....

 

[Arachnerd]

Eh, I think Hamilton handled it well enough.

 

[Isildur´s Heir]

I had to google what Hamilton is...

There is good hip-hop, there's always something good in anything if you search for it, but, as an all....it's not my thing.

 

[Arachnerd]

It's fine, man. I just think you could have phrased it better since people might assume you're generalizing the whole genre as a whole.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I like ye's music. His earlier stuff was way better imo he's gotten a little too experimental and wannabe artsy lately but even then there's a few good songs.

 

[superboy13]

I don't like it, so it's crap! Wah-wah!

Listen up folks....people are allowed to say they don't like something or the idea behind something without being attacked for it....it's their opinion.

My point exactly. If you don't like it, that's fine. Claiming something isn't good just because you don't care for it isn't.

You missed a great deal of my point....you were on of the people I was talking about....you couldn't just let his comment go as "his opinion"....you had to make a snide comment about him crying about it. If you don't agree with what someone says....discuss it, debate it, or argue it all you want, as long as it is civil and not attacking them for their opinion.

At least there's something we can agree on.

And I wasn't attacking anyone for their opinions, IH can dislike whatever he wants, it's a free world (for now).

Again....YOU MISSED MY POINT....I WAS NOT saying he was crying about it....I was saying that YOU were saying he was crying about it.

Jeez, no need to yell, Mr. Administrator.

 

[Lencho01]

As long as it has the "It's in my code" moment, I'm good.

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

I wonder if theyre just gonna recreate his iconic moments like the taylor swift incident or the sway in the morning incident or the time he said "cuz im dope and I do dope ****"

 

[Neno_Kos]

i dont like hollywood making biopic movies about still living person. it feels wrong. at least you wait till that person dies.
