Kanye West released his new 34 minute “Runaway” film yesterday, to fans around the world via the internet. The short movie, which features parts of nine different new Kanye West songs, stars Kanye himself, along with lingerie model Selita Ebanks. The official “Runaway” video can be seen below.

In the new film, Selita Ebanks plays a phoenix that crashed down to earth on what appears to be a fiery meteor. West finds the phoenix laying in the middle of the road, as he pulls up in his fancy sports car. Ebanks appears to be wearing nothing but some feathers around her shoulders and back, along with some paint over her chest and pubic region. Kanye West’s character falls in love with the phoenix, but his peers and acquaintances do not accept her because she is so different.

Kanye West not only starred in the movie, but he also directed it and sang. Fans of West appear to really like the artist’s newest venture.
“Kanye West showed the world how talented he really is. Runaway was awesome!” One fan on Twitter said Saturday evening.

West, 33, took a lot of heat recently, especially after his “rude” interruption of Taylor Swift after she had won the 2009 VMA award. According to West, the next morning, he received many hate messages. Whether you love or hate West, you have to give the man credit for the talent he has displayed in creating this “Runaway” film from scratch.

Take a look at the film below and let us know what you think.
