Death: The High Cost of Living

In the comics he was called Sexton Furnival; and that Death, or Didi as she calls herself in her mortal form, has snagged the interest of one famous young actress in particular. The Death hunt is done, if the deal works out, and soon she’ll be named.

Shia LaBeouf Smashes Studio System, Swears Loyalty To Indie Productions

The desire for money and power is too much temptation for almost all some people, especially in Hollywood.

I can’t even remember the last time a star turned his back on the studio system, which is what makes THR‘s interview with Shia LaBeouf so darn special.

LaBeouf, who quickly rose to stardom after various supporting roles including Constantine and I, Robot, before entering the world of Steven Spielberg with DreamWorks’ Disturbia, has officially turned his back on the studio system.

He’s left behind the piles of money and stardom for the sake of creative freedom (not to say an indie feature can’t provide the aforementioned).

NSFW: Who Knows What Is Happening In The New Sigur Rós Video?

Sigur Rós is a “love ‘em or hate ‘em” kind of band. Their songs are often very slow and, in a way, uneventful. However, another way to look at them is that they are reflections of our own emotions. We’re not going to experience radical changes from one second to the next (well, this sometimes happens, but it’s not the average). Rather, we dwell in our emotions, let them wash over us and take as long as they need in order to leave or dissipate. That’s how I personally view the band.

Another trademark of the band is that they release incredibly heavy music videos, ones that require afterthought and empathy. And nothing has changed with “Fjögur Píanó”, their newest video, which comes from their latest album Valtari. Rather, this might be one of their most obscure videos yet. Starring Shia Labeouf (who does full frontal nudity in this video) and Denna Thomsen, the video is an artistic view of a failing relationship (my opinion). Beautifully shot but also quite confusing, you can watch the NSFW video below.

Note: You have to be logged into YouTube and older than 18 in order to watch the video. READ MORE

Halloween Treat: Shia LaBeouf Directs, Kid Cudi Scores ‘Maniac’!!

We’ve got a very special Halloween treat that comes courtesy of Shia LaBeouf, who has been dabbling in directing over the past year. This summer he took the reigns on Marilyn Manson’s new video “Born Villain”, and now he’s given Bloody Disgusting an exclusive look at “Maniac”, his short film starring both Scott Mescudi (aka Kid Cudi) and Chris Palko.

In the short a film crew follows two serial killers documenting their exploits. You can watch it over at the Bloody Disgusting Facebook. It’s very reminiscent of Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer.

Music and Score provided by Scott Mescudi amd Dot Da Genius. The short is a Grassy Slope & Ragin4Dayz Production in Association with Dilated Pixels. Executive Produced by Scott Mescudi & Shia LaBeouf. Produced by Jeff Balis, T.J. Sakasegawa, Rhoades Rader. READ MORE

Marilyn Manson Sets ‘Born Villain’ As Name Of New Album

Marilyn Manson has dubbed his upcoming album Born Villain. Considering that was the name of the song released yesterday, I don’t think many people are surprised by this. He also posted on his official website a short blurb detailing the work that he has done with actor Shia LaBeouf:

“‘Born Villain’ is the title of the new Marilyn Manson album. While looking to experiment in unlikely collaborations, I met Shia, and we spent a long night at my studio. After seeing ‘Maniac,’ his short film, which is somewhat inspired by ‘Man Bites Dog,’ I was astonished by his directing ability. So I shared quite a few of my favorite inspirations in art, literature, and obviously…film. I was impressed with how Shia digested my world, and made what I’d like to think, is both an homage and a mockery of the history of Cinema. We ended up writing a short film, and just recently released a trailer. The score is from my new album, and is, in the words of Macbeth, ‘full of sound and fury.’
I find the idea of a yawning MGM lion far more interesting than a roaring one.
You ask why we did this?
‘No reason.’”
