Wayne Coyne of Flaming Lips Reveals Plans For New Movie

By TST Staff on March 9, 2010

In a recent interview with Billboard, Flaming Lips front man Wayne Coyne revealed that he was in the process of working on a follow up to his film Christmas on Mars. Coyne will be using primarily family and friends again, though mentioned a possibility of trying to get real actors for the project. Fans shouldn’t expect a release anytime soon, as Coyne did state, “I think everybody would be relieved if it all got done in six weeks and we could say, ‘Look at that!’ “But because I get to do it with people I love and it’s my art, I don’t care how long it takes.”

For those looking for a more tangible release from the Flaming Lips this year, the band has a physical release of “THE FLAMING LIPS, ALONG WITH STARDEATH AND WHITE DWARFS WITH HENRY ROLLINS AND PEACHES DOING ‘THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON’” available for sale on Limited Edition vinyl beginning April 17th 2010, National Record Store Day. The CD version will go on sale on May 4.

Project of Love From the Fans of Henry Rollins
Thanks to Hank
WANTED: Personal stories from the fans, a.k.a, ‘fanatics’, of Henry Rollins. If Henry Rollins has moved you, inspired you to reach higher, helped you in some way, or just makes your life better by way of knowing he is out there, living art and inspiration, and you are willing to share your story in a future publication of Fanatic Stories of Thanks to Hank, please send your story!
The target goal is to complete the project by February of 2011, Henry’s 50th birthday. All potential proceeds will go to the charity of Henry’s choice.
Fanatic and novice writer, Angela Bennett, commented on the project, “Henry has made such a profound contribution to the lives of many thousands, perhaps even millions of people around the world. He is an inspiration to so many people regardless of age, race, or socioeconomic class. This is an opportunity for fanatics to share their stories with, and thank Henry.” During the first month of this project, fans and media are responding from across the world; from 15 year olds to 50 year olds, from the U.S. to Australia.
It’s one thing to be a fan of a band, or an actor, but often it’s about more than that when it comes to Henry. Henry moves people, he is a catalyst in people’s lives. There’s a quote from The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property, by Lewis Hyde, that captures Henry well, “…the gift we long for, the gift that, when it comes, speaks commandingly to the soul and irresistibly moves us.”
