Chance the Rapper has an idea for a movie, but he needs your help to write it. He jumped on Twitter Friday afternoon with a loose plot outline about President Donald Trump getting an iPod for Christmas.

President Trump gets an old Ipod for christmas

But not only is it his first Ipod, he’s actually never listened to music before in his life.

Chance explains that the iPod is a special iPod, however. It's Trump's very first iPod, giving him a chance to do something he's never done before: listen to music.

From there, Chance rattled off a few more details about Trump's magic iPod and its capabilities.

And like A Christmas Carol, It’s a Wonderful Life or What Women Want this Ipod drastically changes how President Trump sees the world

He explained that he needs the help of his 6.8 million Twitter followers to bring his idea to life, however. So, he made an open call for suggestions of a cast, soundtrack, and—perhaps most importantly—an ending.

HOLLYWOOD (& TWITTER) IM TAGGING YOU IN: I need Songs, actors, a title, an ending! Whatever you got I’m all ears

Some of the suggestions he's getting from fans are pretty hilarious. Alec Baldwin emerged as an early front-runner for the lead role, based on the strength of his recent run on SNL portraying Trump.

Alec Baldwin for trump. You write the music with @Lin_Manuel it will be a hit

Songs: A lot of Jackie Wilson, Carla Bruni, etc.
Actors: You already know Alec Baldwin in on this. Get Maryl Streep on this too
Ending: you need a slow zoom in on him as the he takes out his earbuds, have him turn, a single tear escape his eye

Title: I Came, I Saw, iPod

As for the title, Chance leaned in the direction of a couple Apple-oriented fan suggestions: Feliz NaviPod or Apples and Oranges.

Getting a chance to write the ending is where people were able to get the most creative. One fan was inspired by a scene of The Office where Jim and Pam listened to the same iPod together. Another used the opportunity to think about Trump on his deathbed.

Bam. It’s officially a movie. Also I got an idea just like this but for like... a racist police officer. Because I believe if we can humanize Blacks through orcs in #BrightMovie we can humanize just about anyone. Im done with this app for the day. But most likely not. 🖤 https://t.co/7I9fzG0RJG

Chance the Screenwriter ended his Twitter spree by explaining that he also has an idea for a film about a racist police officer. So stay tuned for another chance to flesh out his ideas for the big screen, inspired by a movie he didn't exactly love, Bright. He also left the door open for more ideas about Trump's iPod, so hit him up here and let him know how you think it should end.
