Sorry, kids - Yeezus: The Film Poster is Fake

The Internet moves so fast and we all want to be FIRST so bad that sometimes we neglect to pay attention to common sense. And most of what's on the purported Yeezus: The Film poster is totally made up.

Let's take it credit by credit...

A Donda Production in association with Milk Studios...

Donda is Kanye's company for all his creative endeavors, be it tour design or album packaging. The film will certainly be a Donda production. Milk Studios has a Kanye connection, having hosted events for him, but nothing in terms of video or other film production for 'Ye... 

Written by Bret Easton Ellis

Bret Easton Ellis is indeed confirmed to be working on a Kanye project. But it is not this film. 

Casting by Alfred Sergei

There is no such person.

Production Designer Ian Edward

Unless this is leisure sector finance specialist Ian Edward moonlighting as a production designer, this is also bullshit.

Film Editor More Random Names

We are dumb.

Music Composed by Kanye West

Hey, something that's true!

Director of Photography William Wolfgang

Another made-up name. I'd say whoever made the posted has a thing for classical music (Sergei, Wolfgang)...

Executive Producer Nathan John Brown Hitchcock

This is just a word salad. I do like the John Brown reference, however. Hitchcock is too easy.

Directed by Hype Williams

This is also true.

All that said... Yeezus: The Film will likely be great, even if it's just a concert film as previously tipped. And the fact that author Bret Easton Ellis is indeed cooking something up with Kanye is also very interesting.

Bret Easton Ellis Writes and Brewer directs Dum Dum Girls "Are You Okay"

Author Bret Easton Ellis seems to have caught the music video bug, but instead of just narrating the action, he's now writing it.

Dum Dum Girls "Are You OK" is more short story and art film, than traditional music video, dispensing narrative for something that starts intriguing and ratchets up the tension to full-on disturbing.

Stick with the 11 minutes runtime — which I know is an eon for an online music video — since otherwise you'll miss out on the slow dance with the straight razor.
