Pitchfork pointed us to the new Bruce Willis-starring Gorillaz video for their single “Stylos” off their forthcoming album “Plastic Beach,” that will hit stores next week. In the expensive looking clip, the animated members of the group are fleeing from an incompetent cop, only to find Willis soon on their tails with a big-ass gun. It’s essentially one big, long and actually, not all that exciting car chase. The song itself isn’t that great, with Mos Def sleepwalking through his guest verse and the track only comes to life when Bobby Womack comes along and belts out the chorus.
That all being said, we’ll take this over “Die Hard 5” or “Cop Out” any day of the week. The band have annoyingly disabled embedding for the video, so you have to go here to watch it.
This is referring 'Vanishing Point', right?
EMI disabled the embedding, not the band. Ok Go ran into a similar problem recently.
Yeah, it definitely looks like Vanishing Point (i didn't watch the full clip, maybe there are more obvious references later on).
