Following in the footsteps of Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Michael Jackson, Drake is releasing a film based on his music Sunday night at midnight, Billboard reports. The film, which will be released on Apple Music, is called Please Forgive Me and was directed by frequent Rihanna-video-director Anthony Mandler. Drake’s been teasing it on Instagram:

The teaser says it was inspired by his new album Views, but also that it was scored by Drake’s producer Noah “40” Shebib, so it remains to be seen whether it will be a Beyoncé-style visual album or something different.* Whatever it turns out to be, one thing is certain: There will be guns.

Update, Sept. 26, 2016: The short is now live. You can watch it here on Apple Music, or a new trailer is embedded below.
