With the long awaited, much-delayed Flaming Lips’ Christmas On Mars film already creating a festival buzz — literally as it premiered at Sasquatch! — word arrives that it will be released on DVD in October by Warner Bros., with a soundtrack CD also hitting stores.
90 minutes long, it’s described by the Lips cam as being “set in outer space on the surface of Mars. The double failures of a clunky old oxygen generator and an exotic but finicky gravity control pod have conspired to weaken the resolve and psychological judgment of the crew and the film's protagonist Major Syrtis. This means he has horrific hallucinations that are centered around the artificial birth of the Christmas baby. An alien super-being arrives and with his otherworldly powers fixes the oxygen generator but it's the station's genius mechanic who fixes the gravity problem.”
So over at Pitchfork they’ve got the official trailer for it, and you can view it below. Meanwhile, there’s that other, earlier trailer still making the YouTube rounds, and you can also view it below, after the new one.
Enjoy!
