If You Think Your Wife Will Protect You. You Are Wrong.
No, that’s not a tagline to the latest Platinum Dunes horror project, it’s just one of the enigmatic statements peppered throughout the creepy viral videos created by John Hillcoat for the new album 2 from Nick Cave’s project Grinderman, coming out in the fall.
Of course, it’s no surprise to find Hillcoat and Cave working together. Cave wrote and scored the Hillcoat-directed “The Proposition” and also composed the music for the director’s last effort, “The Road.” And the pair are looking to bring “The Death Of Bunny Munro” to British television as a mini-series and trying to get another, unnamed feature film into production following the collapse of their depression-era crime drama, “The Wettest County In The World” earlier this year.
As for Hillcoat, it continues his run of commercial work lately, with the half-hour infotainment promo for the video game “Red Dead Redemption” and a Terrence Malick-inspired spot for Levis landing in recent months.
Anyway, take a look at the videos after the jump. Wolves, girls in bathtubs and red-eyed cheerleaders await. And yes, pictured above is the cover to the first single from the album “Heathen Child.” Awesome. [Pitchfork]
