CULTURE: Tim Burton Directs New Killers Video

The man behind "Beetlejuice" and "Edward Scissorhands" is taking the leap into the 3 1/2 minute microcosm of music video directing. The lucky recipients of Burton's time and talent are The Killers whose new CD "Sam's Town" was released October 3rd.

Killers Bassist Mark Stoemer:

The Killers begin a month long tour of the U.S. and Canada tomorrow in Los Angeles, and Tim Burton is currently in pre-production on the film adaptation of the Broadway show "Sweeney Todd", starring -

Must be something to them though if a creative genuis like Tim Burton wants to work with them. I'm sure he wasn't hurting for the paycheck...

two of my favorite things combined into one.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! That is so exciting.
