[Rodie]

I need to see this immediately if not sooner. (!)

[Laver1969]

Nice find Xavito! So we finally get FFYR part 2.

[Darko]

Sounds great but I'll admit I'm a little disappointed it was for the Make Some Noise video.

[senbei]

As much as this sounds very cool, I hope the new album concept isn't too much rooted in some kind of retro Beastie attitude. We already had that with TT5B, I really hope they can move forward a little bit :p

[Kid Presentable]

There was nothing 'retro Beastie' about TT5B. Some old samples aside.

And yeah, I guess this short film will incorporate/be incorporated with the music video. Or not; it all seems very Kanye - and I must say the 'star power' is still a bit weird.

[Nerd Fight]

Ya know, I'd be kind of glad if the stars only appeared in the short film and not the music video. Videos with guest stars tend not to age very well. Like that 80's Michael Jackson video. Look it's....Lou Diamond Phillips....and...uh...Mayim Bialik....and...uh...who's that guy? Fabio?
It's like thumbing through an old issue of People magazine.

[Laver1969]

Sounds great but I'll admit I'm a little disappointed it was for the Make Some Noise video.

How can you be disappointed about a video for a song you haven't heard yet?

[Guy Incognito]

and I must say the 'star power' is still a bit weird.

i think i get why you think this but as i said before, they do what they want. Plus its not like mike d is on Dancing with the Stars or Ad rock is on Celebrity Total Wipeout. They seem to be doing stuff on their terms with people they want to work with, not selling out for exposure. I'm guessing thats why you might be uneasy with all this.
At the end of the day, Yauch has had a life changing experience and he might have decided on trying certain projects or working with certian people that he has thought about for ages.

[pm0ney]

Thats a bad comparison. Every single person listed for the Beastie Boys video is a legitimate A-list star who has had a sustained/very long and successful career.

[dave790]

it's not like kanye west guaranteed much airplay of triple trouble though. negative yeah, i'm just saying!

[JoLovesMCA]

Whatever they do people are going to LOVE and they've never let us down in the creativity department. The guys are smart when it comes to promoting themselves and their music, I simply can't wait!

[Kid Presentable]

it's not like kanye west guaranteed much airplay of triple trouble though. negative yeah, i'm just saying!

Something's really going awry with my communication here - I'm referring to the whole Kanye short movie of tracks from his new album. In fact it would be sorta cool if this short film incoroporated tracks from HSC, although it's been done by now.

And I don't think they're selling out. It's just unusual for them to lean on star power.

[Brother McDuff]

It's just unusual for them to lean on star power.


its hard to say before seeing it, but I would imagine it's less 'leaning' on star power than 'utilizing' it. its not like they need these other stars to be relevent; they're just capitalizing on their option to collaborate with them.

secondly, if this piece is moreover a short film than a music video (as it seems to be shaping up as), then who better to act in a film than actors? a video would be a different story, but even still I think the bboys have proven themselves many times over that their intentions are beyond cheap press.

thats my two cents, at least.

[Kid Presentable]

It's always interesting to see people defend something that I never attacked.

[JasonP]

So who is going to Sundance in January???

[Documad]

So who is going to Sundance in January???

Too bad Barb doesn't live in Utah anymore.

I can't even imagine what the fuck they're doing but I'll be excited to see it someday. Hopefully.

[pm0ney]

Maybe someone at the record company wanted to get this news out before the voting is tallied for the Rock and Roll HOF. That is a mighty big publicity boost on the eve of your first "proper" studio album in more than half a decade. We dont know who/why this is what they decided to do, but I just cant understand how anyone can see this as a negative. We haven't seen enough videos of just the three of them rapping into a fish-eye camera over the last 20+ years?

[Kid Presentable]

Who is saying it's a negative?

[pm0ney]

People in this thread.

[Kid Presentable]

Who?

[Nerd Fight]

Thats a bad comparison. Every single person listed for the Beastie Boys video is a legitimate A-list star who has had a sustained/very long and successful career.

Yeah, it does depend somewhat on how cool your stars are.
But another thing with celeb filled videos is they can come off a bit random and like; look how many famous people we know. There was a Vampire Weekend video a while back with Jake Gyllenhaal and Lil Jon and others that was kind of like that, a bit random and slightly grating.

But the thing is, it depends on how you do it; if the video's like a movie with a story where the characters are played by famous actors, something like Body Movin' but with stars, then it could work well. And for a short film, like McDuff says, it would work fine.

Bottom line is I have no idea what the video is going to be like, so this is all idle speculation. And with a track record like Hornblower's, you should give them the benefit of the doubt.
There is a new Beastly Boys video coming out, and I'm excited, and I hope for something splendid.

[Brother McDuff]

meh, don't flatter yourself.

[Kid Presentable]

Ouch.

[Darko]

How can you be disappointed about a video for a song you haven't heard yet?

Oops, I didn't mean to say I'm disappointed with whatever the Make Some Noise video turns out to be, I was just hoping the celebrities-as-Beasties filming would be used for a music video because that would've really got them some much deserved attention.

[pm0ney]

Who?

I dont know, I'm too lazy to look up and go through the posts. Just take my word for it.

[Turchinator]

And I don't think they're selling out. It's just unusual for them to lean on star power.

nah I wasn't even aware you'd mentioned kanye or his short movies, i was just pointing out that having a 'star' in a video doesn't automatically make it big. and that was the only previous beastie example i could think of. i'm not even fussed either way so i have no idea why i chipped in to be honest. but your communication is just fine.

[Kid Presentable]

Oh my bad :o

I bet this whole thing is going to be fun. That's the important thing.

[dave790]

i was just thinking, whilst reading this (http://www.nme.com/news/beastie-boys/54165) isn't it possible that it's not a music video at all, or at least unrelated to make some noise. chances are it is, but it's dawned on me none of these reports mention anything a new single or tune. just a short film.

[Documad]

If it's going to sundance it makes me think it's really a short film, not a music video, but who knows? Yauch made that short with David Cross several years ago.

If Yauch goes to sundance, then maybe we will get some music- or tour-related news. That's what I'm hoping for. :o

EDIT: I hate speculating and speculation. I can't believe I got sucked in!

[Kid Presentable]

Dave Skilken played by Tracy Morgan

[Brother McDuff]

I wonder if Jack Black is gonna play Rick Rubin's part. Overweight bearded guy?

I think the John C Reilly inclusion makes me the most excited. That dude is effin hilarious.

[JoLovesMCA]

OMG Toby Mcguire! I am loving this more and more!!

[Brother McDuff]

toby mcguire's playing ricky powell....

i dont know if this was a sarcastic comment or not. given it's truth, I have to say the Elijah Wood and Tobey Mcguire choices are a bit disappointing. those two guys are such weiners.

regardless, though, there is far too much going for this outing for said casting to threaten this film's epic status. sundance can't come fast enough.

note: could you imagine if this short film actually won the short film category at sundance? probly not liklely, but man, talk about yet another sterling award to add to an already crowded trophy case in the Yauch household.

JACK BLACK!!! FOCK MAN! I wanna go to Utah. I am gonna contact Sundance and see if I can find out what day this one is premiering.

Davis Cross as Hornblower and the Boys themselves with cameos!

I don't think David Cross' Hornblower is as good as Yauch's. MCA's five seconds at the '94 VMA's was a hell of a lot more entertaining than Cross' Hornblower in that short film preceding AIFST.

Wow, what a surprisingly straight interview from Mike D, and from all places, Kid's Day at MSG. Davis' comments at the end of the clip were more in line with the traditional--let's not take it serious--Beastie interview. He's learning from the best!

[Kid Presentable]

Aaaah! This is going to exciting!

Can't wait to see it.

(Uh, I've been a total copy cat, and tried to put something on mic-to-mic)

I don't get it. Are there honestly people who go to mic-to-mic first for Beastie Boys news? I mean actual news, not flim-flam.

[Friis gal]

I have no idea. Maybe not. I'm not a big fan of it myself. And I don't get twitter AT ALL!

I think people who have time to read the boards will prefer the boards. I know I will, but it's not time I have much of these days - actually for the first time in a years or so I have had.

I see Mic-to-mic as a caching up with stuff, kind of thing.

christ i wasnt expecting all those names, i didnt recognise everyone but still , a lot of faces. If thats true that is. I wonder how long all this has been in pipeline.

besides the Hornblower short, this looks to really test Yauch's screenplay chops. apparently he must have had some free time in the last year ;)

Samantha Storr was listed as Producer of Yauch's first screenplay idea about the graffitti artist, is back on board producing this one.

the growth of MCA as a Hollywood player has been an impressive one.

[pm0ney]

WOW. That is some fucking cast. Jeez.

[senbei]

Orlando Bloom ... Johnny Ryall

..not quite the face I had in mind for Johnny haha

[BeastieRunner]

This is almost better news that the new album!

[Kid Presentable]

I guess in leaning on star power to this extent it could only be ironic. Nice work on the find, bigfatlove.

[Documad]

My favorite person in that list is Martin Starr.

[Kid Presentable]

I've been emailing my wife at work ad nauseum with details about it since back when Susan Sarandon was all we knew. She's very excited to see Will Arnett's name. Me, I'm interested in what Chloe Sevigny will be up to.

[Knuckles]

My favorite person in that list is Martin Starr.

yes

[Brother McDuff]

could there be any more gratifying group to be a fan of? i mean really.

these guys pull so many tricks out of their hat, it's fucking ridiculous.

2011 is gonna be unreal.



fandom aside, this cast is gonna drop so much publicity onto the new record. Yauch may have just dropped a few ten-thousands more heads into the HSC awareness pool with this stunt alone. while I'm confident this endeavor had far more to do with artistic intent, dude still just blew a major promotional lid off this motherfucker.

There's not a better group to be a fan of. (y) And I totally agree with everything you said. I always said they were great with PR when it came to their records. Think about Hello Nasty and the infomercials. They know how to come back to the music scene and come back with confetti and celebrations string falling from everywhere!!!

We had this long long delay with literally no news and then they throw this on our laps just in time for Christmas!!

This is brilliant, better than when they were going to just chuck HSC out with TMR, but all this just means its going to be more of an event.

I might have missed this but what is the crack musically with this short. I presume having all these actors means dialogue but is FFYR going to be used, a new version, or something from HSC. Does anybody have any clue?

Totally agree. Only Adam can really make Hornblower amusing as he is. What was that 90's interview on the rooftop where Yauch is dressed as Hornblower. I have it on tape somewhere. I know it's on you-tube but it's also a favo of mine. (y)

I'm pretty sure that was when the Beastie Boys were on MTV's House of Style. And I believe a snippet of that interview appears on the Sabotage home video.

Once again, this brief talking head segment trumps anything Cross has done. It's kind of like the mom in Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The first one will always be the best.
