Kanye West will release an IMAX-only Gospel-themed film titled “Jesus is King,” based off of the Sunday services that the famed rapper has been overseeing this year.
A trailer for the IMAX release was uploaded to West’s official YouTube account on Saturday, getting as of Monday afternoon over 240,000 views and more than 13,000 likes.
The video opens with a blue screen with the caption “In the words of Jesus Christ, ‘The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel,’” quoting Mark 1:15.
It shows some behind-the-scenes footage of filming during the summer at the Roden Crater, which features a large artistic facility in Arizona’s Painted Desert.
The trailer also showed a choir being filmed singing a Gospel song inside one of the chambers at the artistic desert facility.
“This one-of-a-kind experience features songs arranged by West in the gospel tradition along with new music from his forthcoming album ‘JESUS IS KING’ — all presented in the immersive sound and stunning clarity of The IMAX Experience®,” stated the film’s official website.
