Bruce Willis Stars In New Gorillaz Video
By Jeffrey Hyatt
Hey, isn’t that star of Moonlighting Bruce Willis in the Gorillaz new music video for “Stylo?” Why yes it is. The video promo shows the cartoon group in a wild car chase with Willis; the video mixes CGI animation, plus live-action footage.
“Stylo,” which features Mos Def and the legendary Bobby Womack on vocals, is from the Gorillaz new album, Plastic Beach, available March 8.
It’s a wildly creative video, which follows Gorillaz bass playing demigod Murdoc Niccals through a dangerous trip to the mainland from his new home on Plastic Beach – the namesake of the new record. Something goes badly wrong and Murdoc, guitarist/Cyborg Noodle and vocalist 2D end up in a high speed car chase with a local cop and an unknown assailant. Cyborg Noodle’s circuits start failing and 2D fears for their lives as the gun toting bounty hunter draws ever closer.
So there you have it.
The “Stylo” video is directed by Jamie Hewlett and produced by Cara Speller for Zombie Flesh Eaters, with live action through HSI Productions in Los Angeles, and animation by Passion Pictures in London.
Gorillaz is the brain child of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett.
A few more days until the new album is here, but you can listen to Plastic Beach in its entirety via NPR.
