Peter Jackson should direct first Bat 3 video - Page 2

Pudding · 23 Dec 2005, 23:25

I think the main problem people have with King Kong is the length of it, 3 hours is a long time to watch a monkey tear up New York.

Pud

Steve6 · 23 Dec 2005, 23:36

I heard it was long alright Pud.

But nothing was going to stop P.J from making it. I heard he made "KING KONG" in great detail

and he put alot of effort into it.
He has also lost some weight. Well done to him.

**The Flying Mouse** · 24 Dec 2005, 03:47

Well if the boy has experience in making 3 hour movies, that is a good, and highly relevant, qualification for a Meat/Steinman song

Thing is, can he handle to go on through a forth chorus

.

Jeanie · 24 Dec 2005, 20:29

LOL, right you are, Flying Mouse.

Sorry, but there is no way on earth Peter Jackson would make a music video after success with LOTR and King Kong. Making music videos is usually how you start out in Hollywood, very rare you go back, maybe a few exceptions, but I can't think of any really, unless it was a favor for a friend,(John Landis for Micheal Jackson's Thriller).

Steve6 · 11 Jan 2006, 02:30

There's always a chance of it happening so I aint givin up hope yet.

Pudding · 11 Jan 2006, 02:47

You're absolutely right steve6 there is a chance, a very small one granted. In fact there's probably more of a chance Elvis being cloned and doing a tour this year, but a small chance is better than no chance

Pud

Steve6 · 11 Jan 2006, 02:52

Yes, thank you Pud!!!!!!!

But Meat better get on the phone to Jackson soon.
Or else it won't happen.

Does everyone here still want to see Jackson directing the video?

Martin Scorsese's "Bad" for MJ also.
Steve Barron, several videos for Aha, Bryan Adams, Dire Straits and Madonna while making movies in the same era.
David Mallet, a famous TV / Video director/producer (stand ups etc) did lots of ACDC and Queen videos later in his career.
Russell Mulcahy, directing videos for Elton John, Bonnie Tyler, Duran Duran and lots more while/ after making Hollywood movies.

Music videos were certainly not considered early stages of a successful director career in the 80s and early 90s.
Even James Cameron went on to direct a simple milk advert in the US after Titanic. Usually it can help directors get more recognition and ultimtaly they probably quite like a change of scene. I agree nowadays it is a different scene maybe as music videos almost seem to be a forgotten art form and more a vehicle to simply promote a song (ie usually a story or strong relationship to the song is now missing in a video).

I wasn't aware from reading this thread that "EVERYONE" wanted to see Jackson directing the video... or is that just me?

Ma.Ra · 11 Jan 2006, 17:28

No, I don't want PJ. If he would do the video, it would end in

1. a splatter video

or
2. mass of monster which look like the orcs in LOTR or the island habitants in KK.

I vote for Michael BAY

His last few movies weren't successfull, so I think he would be cheaper than PJ

I think there is just a hype about PJ. Most people I think prefer him only because he visualized LOTR, which I've never read

AndrewG · 11 Jan 2006, 18:21

I think Steven Spielbeg should make a musical with all songs out of Bat 1,2,3 and they can use footage for the new songs as videos.
Spielberg always wanted to do a musical so he might as well make one with good music.

However Jackson's visual monster style would work well for a massive bat I reckon.

Steve6 · 11 Jan 2006, 18:52

Who directed the "Anything for love" video?

If they could afford a big budget for that and it was in 93

then money should'nt be a problem in getting Jackson involved in this one, if they really wanted to.
I am all for P.J directing it because I know it will work.

PanicLord · 11 Jan 2006, 22:43

Michael Bay, as in The Rock, Armageddon (I think), and The Island.

Leah · 11 Jan 2006, 23:01

I really like Michael Bay's work and vids that he did for Meat previously. I'd be more than happy if he was to direct a vid from Bat 3. But I guess time will tell!!!

Steve6 · 12 Jan 2006, 02:22

What Meat Loaf videos did Michael Bay direct because I don't know.

**The Flying Mouse** · 12 Jan 2006, 03:06

Michael Bay directed the vids for............
Objects In The Rear View Mirror.
I'd Do Anything For Love.
Rock & Roll Drams Come Through.

Steve6 · 13 Jan 2006, 00:38

Micheal Bay has plenty of experience of working with the Loaf, so he would be the first choice to do it (ahead of P.J)

But he did'nt make any of the music videos for WTTN and CHSIB, so maybe he won't direct one from Bat 3.

What's Michael Bay doing at the moment?

Pudding · 13 Jan 2006, 03:04

I thought Howard Greenhalgh did a pretty good job on the 'I'd Lie For You' and 'Not a Dry Eye' videos

Pud

Steve6 · 13 Jan 2006, 19:53

You're right he did do a great job on them. I really liked those videos.
Was "ANYTHING FOR LOVE" Meats dearest video or was it "I'D LIE FOR YOU?

I know the danger to discuss with you but: C'mon, the IWLFU is crap. Not the worst but not in the same league how the Michael Bay videos. But DRY EYE is in the same league. Don't know how a director can do videos of such different quality

Ehhhh....what danger?

Music video's are always going to be subject to personal tastes, but I like the Indaina Jones theme of 'I'd Lie For You'. It doesn't go with the song, but overall I thought it was a pretty good video, plus it had Dana Patrick (the chick from AFL) with a heaving cleavage

I agree it's not in the same league as the Michael Bay vids, but even so, still pretty good...IMO

Pud

**The Flying Mouse** · 13 Jan 2006, 22:57

Dana Patrick with heaving cleavage

+ Patti in black thigh high boots

(CHSIB) = I would give that video an oscar

Would you hose me down with holy water?

DAMN RIGHT I WOULD

djfierce · 14 Jan 2006, 00:02

I'm not really bothered who directs the new vids as long as they realise the attempts from CHSIB were nothing short of embarrassing. As long as the new/already used director appreciates that the fans expect the quality of anything for love/not a dry eye/objects in the rear view mirror etc.and produces something as good/better then i'll be happy. I hope Meat realises this and pushes his record company to pay out.
