Less than a week before its IMAX release, Kanye West<\/a> has offered a behind-the-scenes look at his upcoming film Jesus Is King<\/em><\/a>, the cinematic accompaniment to the rapper\u2019s still-postponed<\/a> new album.<\/p>\n

Like the film\u2019s previous trailer<\/a>, the preview opens with same scripture from Mark 1:15 before showing West and his crew setting up the camera outside the Rodan Crater, artist James Turrell\u2019s never-before-seen installation in Arizona\u2019s Painted Desert where much of the Nick Knight-directed Jesus Is King<\/em> was filmed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re here to spread the gospel. I\u2019m not here for your entertainment,\u201d West says in voiceover. \u201cWe\u2019re here to save souls. Here to save people from eternal damnation. I use art to make believers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Sunday Service choir is then shown singing within the Rodan Crater before the action cuts to West in an editing room, reciting the Mark 1:15 verse.<\/p>\n

Jesus Is King<\/em> \u201cis a one-of-a-kind experience features 13 songs arranged by West in the gospel tradition and performed by the Sunday Service choir \u2014 as well as all-new music from his forthcoming album of the same name,\u201d IMAX said of the documentary, which hits more than 325 IMAX theaters nationwide plus another 125+ internationally on October 25th<\/p>\n
