The Strokes Remake
A While back I showed you guys a version of You only live once directed by Warren J. Fu (Star Wars Fame) which had apparently been pitched but rejected.
Now The Band are remodeling their site and to commemorate this they decided to remake the video with Warren Fu's Version!
Trailer to Fu's Version
ode to Kubrick
Judging from the trailer its going to look awesome. Way better than a white room filling up with poop.

backlinkingWarren Fu: ILM concept artist
Press release: "An inspired Fu approached The Strokes as a longtime fan with his fantasy video treatment after instantly falling for the album’s lead track. As he recounts, “The Strokes always had cool and innovative videos for their songs, so when I got their latest album, I was determined to direct a video for them. ‘You Only Live Once’ immediately caught my attention. The notes seemed to fit perfectly like a puzzle, and I fell in love with the song after the first few listens.” With the blessing of the band and the experience at LucasFilms under his belt, Fu immersed the band into his sci fi concept and created a world made up entirely from CGI that pays homage to Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey as well as the NASA spacecrafts of the 1970’s."
