Forget Turbo Grafx 16, forget Watch The Throne 2, forget Good Ass Job — this. We want this.

Kanye West may have proclaimed “I am a God” back in 2013, but this year he extended the compliment to another: Will Ferrell. Now the comedy actor and West-favorite is rumored to be in talks to play the rapper in a biopic.

According to The Daily Star (via Metro), a close friend of West’s has said the rapper has approved a biopic about his life, but on the condition that it be a complete farce.

“Rather than take himself too seriously, he feels it has to be a comedy and not a preachy film,” the source says, adding that West has been thinking about it for “a long, long time” and been trading ideas with Ferrell.

The report goes on to say the project could be helmed by Adam McKay, Ferrell’s longtime collaborator who directed Anchorman, Step Brothers and more before winning a Academy Award for screenwriting with his Best Picture-nominated hit The Big Short.

McKay previously directed West in Anchorman 2 where he played the head of MTV in the cameo-filled climactic battle scene. As unlikely as all this seems, it’s worth noting that that sequel was a similarly impossible film that fans essentially willed into existence.

Watch that fight scene below and think of all the possibilities.
