Rap heavyweight Kanye West is making another foray into film - the hip-hop star is reportedly working on a "movie companion" to his upcoming album.

The hitmaker's last record, 808s and Heartbreaks, featured a Spike Jonze-directed short, We Were Once a Fairytale.

West is set to release his fifth studio album Dark Twisted Fantasy on 16 November (10).

We've shot some good stuff so far

And according to Mtv News, images from a film shoot that swept across the internet on Wednesday (01Sep10) are not for a typical music video.

The rapper hinted he was working on a special movie project last week (ends27Aug10), writing in a series of posts on his Twitter.com page "Lastday in Prague. We've shot some good stuff so far... really good... NO! Imean Really Good!" He continued "Just wrapped for the day. Been shooting 16 hour days... I'm so excited... It's like a child's delusions become reality!" West has yet to release further details of the project, although he hascommented on one bizarre published image, which shows him walking over to a waiting deer.

He tweeted "On set of the movie. This doe just refuses to sit still...I told the deer... 'what would Bambi do?' and she looked at me like I was crazy".
