Kanye West and his partners at multimedia company Donda have been commissioned to recut the trailer for Lindsay Lohan's new movie The Canyons.

Director Paul Schrader's film opened in New York City on Friday (02Aug13) and the rapper has been given the task of selling it to movie fans.

Sources tell Pitchfork.com that West and his team are working with editor Nate Brown and composer Noah Goldstein to create the perfect trailer for the film, which will be among the films screened at the Venice Film Festival in Italy later this month (Aug13).
