Kanye West is reportedly in the process of making a new film, with representatives of his working on the project in the Middle East at the moment.

West released his first film, a 34 minute 'Runaway' in 2010, and is looking to follow it up with a new vehicle - currently shrouded in mystery.

The New York Observer reports that some members of Kanye's team are currently in Abu Dhabi to scout locations and helm the bidding war already surrounding the movie. "There are a lot of preconceived notions and stereotypes about Emiratis and Qataris, which westerners often play up," a source told the paper, adding that Kanye is hoping to "bridge the cultural divide"

Meanwhile, it is thought that Kanye West could release the first fruits from his collaborative GOOD Music album shortly.
