Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz Pictures: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz arrive at the Los Angeles premiere of the Kanye West film "Runaway" held at the Harmony Gold Theatre on October 18, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.
West has described "Runaway" as a 40-minute film-noir-style movie that's based on his upcoming album.
"It's the story of a phoenix fallen to Earth, and I make her my girlfriend, and people discriminate against her and eventually she has to burn herself alive and go back to her world," he told New York Magazine. "I've been feeling the idea of the phoenix. It's been in my heart for a while. It's maybe parallel to my career. I threw a Molotov cocktail on my career last year, in a way, and I had to come back as a better person."
"Runaway" will premiere on Saturday at 8 p.m. ET on MTV, MTV2 and BET, and will also stream live on MTV.com, BET.com and VH1.com, followed by a live Q&A session on MTV.
