UPDATE: The Flaming Lips will have a fantastical, freakout Christmas on Nov. 11, when their film, Christmas on Mars, is released on DVD.
Directed by Wayne Coyne (his directorial debut!) and George Salisbury, the film takes place on the Red Planet, where colonization is underway. Lips members Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, Kliph Scurlock and Wayne (as a compassionate alien superbeing) all star in Christmas.
The film will have its Los Angeles premiere on Nov. 11 at The Montalbán in Hollywood. In order to attend, you must RSVP at flux.net/mars. Wayne will introduce the film as well as do a Q&A at the end! The premiere is free, but on a first come, first served basis.
In the meantime, check out the Christmas on Mars trailer.
Also, a “mega-deluxe” Christmas on Mars package is available for preorder at the Flaming Lips webstore. Priced at $39.99, the package will include:
• Christmas on Mars DVD
• soundtrack CD
• Christmas on Mars T-shirt
• collectible movie ticket
• trading card set
• “Eat Your Own Spaceship” sticker and popcorn box with “real Flaming Lips popcorn” (what does that taste like?!)
The first 1,000 who order the “mega-deluxe” package will have their popcorn box autographed by the band, and a random 10 of that 1,000 will receive a golden ticket for VIP admission to the band’s New Year’s Eve show in Oklahoma City. That’s pretty good for just $39.99! The deluxe edition, priced at $24.99, will have the DVD and CD.
