Kanye West Jetsons

Kanye West Jetsons, Kanye West is involved in a lot of endeavors — his music, his G.O.O.D Music compilation, his deejay gigs, the Throne with Jay-Z, a clothing line, DONDA … the list goes on. Since he’s already burning the candle at both ends, it’s probably a good thing that the producers of the new ‘Jetsons’ film denied his claims of being the movie’s creative director — but do say he will may have some involvement in the project later on.

On his epic Twitter rant on Wednesday, West wrote, “I was just discussing becoming the creative director for the Jetson movie and someone on the call yelled out.. you should do a Jetsons tour!” While the message was easy to lose amid the myriad of his other 70 tweets, it wasn’t lost on the producers of ‘The Jetsons,’ who addressed West’s self-appointed position to New York Magazine.

“There is no such thing on a movie,” producer Denise DiNovi said of West’s “creative director” helm. “There’s an art director and a production designer.” Another issue? The movie is in such early stages that the producers are still hiring screenwriters to start from scratch on the project. Additionally, the film’s director would choose the art director and production designer … and there’s no director yet, either.

For what it’s worth, the producers did have a discussion with West about his passion for ‘The Jetsons’ and his ideas for the film. They initially underestimated his passion for the futuristic cartoon.
