After recruiting the talents of Rosamund Pike for their last music video, Massive Attack is featuring another one of David Fincher‘s collaborators, Cate Blanchett, for their new one. Directed by John Hillcoat — with whom Blanchett nearly collaborated before she dropped out of Triple 9 — the video for “The Spoils” is a trippy one, featuring the actor’s face going through an unsettling mutation.
As we look forward to her narration in Terrence Malick‘s Voyage of Time: Life’s Journey, check out the new Venice synopsis for it below, followed by the music video.
Terrence Malick’s first documentary has been described by the director himself as “one of my greatest dreams.” It is a collage film (like Koyaanisqatsi by Godfrey Reggio) that intends to illustrate the birth and death of an undiscovered universe. A film that promises to be highly experimental and perhaps Malick’s most ambitious film. The story of the universe itself, with powerful images, from the Big Bang to the Mesozoic era and through the present and beyond, based on a project conceived decades ago. The film was made in two versions, a long one for theatres with Cate Blanchett as the narrator, and a 40′ version for Imax with Brad Pitt as the narrator.
