Several elements come together in this video, most notably a mix of live/performance footage with a car racing through the desert and an adrift astronaut downtown.
Talk about a who's who... You have Tom Petty fronting a reunited version of his first ever band, Mudcrutch, providing the soundtrack to a short film starring Anthony Hopkins and directed by the one-two punch of Sean Penn and Samuel Bayer.
The storyline is enigmatic, yet simple and clear: Hopkins is making a long drive while making a mental of inventory. The real sparks happen at the very end, when we see the rage/range that made Sir Anthony a legend.
Okay. Part of me here thinks that, after his girlfriend was killed, Adam Levine's character lost his sanity and developed a taste for blood. When he sees the object of his latest desire —played by real-life wife Behati Prinsloo — on the job, he develops an unhealthy obsession that he can't wait to enact in reality.
Another part of me thinks that Adam's studied a lot of Criminal Minds episodes and may wish to be a serial killer in his next big film role; This could be considered his audition.
Whatever the case, Adam's having a grand old time in that meat locker. It's worth a few clicks. And Bayer probably loves the opening credits to Se7en as much as you do.
Michael Jackson's posthumous career moonwalks on with "A Place With No Name," leaning on footage captured at the time of his "In The Closet" video as a way to work him into a new video.
