Who should direct the video for Window in the skies?

[U2girl]

Will the band, like for OOTS, turn to someone new, or will they, like E. Storm or S. Thing turn to trusted directors that worked with them before?

My hope is for Corbijn or Godley.

Godley

EBTTRT video

 

[Lancemc]

Michel Gondry...if he even still directs music videos!

 

[U2girl]

I wouldn't mind something arty a la Stay so Wenders is an option too.

 

[theoriginal]

Stephan Sednaoui. I love what was done with Mysterious Ways and Discotheque! Or Anton...

 

[Jack In The Box]

Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, Floria Sigismondi or Mark Romanek

directors that have workled with U2: Anton Cobijn

 

[The_Edge89]

Chris Milk is directing the video.
I think I read that somewhere, can't find the source at the moment though.

[U2Man]

What's odd is that all of the stories from the time the photos were shot (and video was taken) with U2 & Green Day in the crosswalk indicated that they were to be used in either the Saints video or in the Saints cd somehow.

But perhaps the real purpose was to get shots of U2 crossing & use the shots in some other way....and they took some with Green Day to be nice since GD were there.

...And from this old u2.com story, Chris Milk was indeed there at that moment.

Will the new album have a cover that's a copy of the old beatles pic

 

[Lancemc]

if you notice on u218.com, the abbey road crossing photo is used to identify Window in the Skies.

 

[U2Man]

oh, i see all the other pics are the real single covers. guess it'll be the single cover then.

If so, then perhaps the goal with WITS was to purposely make it sound Beatlesque.

 

[U2Man]

Well, they succeeded

Can't wait for 404

 

[Utoo]

[Galeongirl]

wow, that indeed makes it all fall into place! I didn't even think of the link beatles pic - beatles esque song!

interesting... but then the question arises, why wasting film on green day?

Jonas Akerlund - Beautiful Day.

My favorite video.

I think Anton should go for it , I would hire him for this

I really would love it when a "Star"-director did something for U2. That never happend till now.
Scorsesee now directs the new Rolling Stones film
Jonathan Demme (Silence of the lamps) directed the Neil Young Film.
Tim Burton did the new Killers Video.
What's with U2???

I like to see Tarantino direct Windows in the Sky
