‘Christmas on Mars’ from The Flaming Lips

The popular experimental band The Flaming Lips have a new sci-fi movie, inspired by the holiday season… sort of? Watching this trailer, I though to myself… “hey, this looks really cool, in an Ed Wood meets Guy Maddin sort of way.” Avant garde experimentation combined with the music and style of The Flaming Lips with a healthy dose of cheesy b-movie nostalgia. Wrap it up and slap on a bow, this should be great!

[Psychedelic rock band the Flaming Lips present Christmas on Mars: A Fantastical Film Freakout Featuring the Flaming Lips, a glorious science fiction film that marks the directorial debut of the Lips’ visionary frontman Wayne Coyne. Seven years in the making, Christmas on Mars features original music by the Flaming Lips (“The greatest US band today” – The Guardian), with acting performances by all band members, and many others from their Oklahoma City-based team. Comedian Fred Armisen (Saturday Night Live) and actor Adam Goldberg (Dazed and Confused, Two Days in Paris) also appear.] — IMDB.com
