Bjork's 3D musical

Tue 16th Mar, 2010 in International News

Beloved film director Michael Gondry is working on a suitably odd film with his regular collaborator Bjork.

Earlier this year, the pair announced that they were set to reunite for a mysterious project that was described by Gondry as “very undefined… hard to give more precision.”

That project has become a little more defined during an interview with Gondry at the 2010 SXSW Film Festival. Though he was supposed to be promoting his new family focused documentary, A Thorn In The Heart, the French director also dropped a few tantalising hints about the upcoming Bjork collaboration.

“We have a very ambitious project, a sort of scientific musical,” Gondry explained. ”[It’s a movie], but maybe more for museums. Like a 40 minute IMAX project in 3D.”

Björk and Gondry have collaborated together on seven ground-breaking music videos since 1993, but a 3D IMAX musical would be sure to eclipse those short promo clips.

(For anyone anticipating Bjork/Gondry trivia to play a part in their lives those seven video clips are Declare Independence, Bachelorette, Jóga, Hyper-Ballad, Isobel, Army of Me and Human Behavior.)

Gondry also has an animated project titled Megalomania and long delayed The Green Hornet starring Seth Rogen, Cameron Diaz and Christoph Waltz to keep him busy, so there’s no word on when he and Bjork will begin filming their ‘scientific musical’.
