Last night, the Beastie Boys dropped their 30-minute Adam Yauch-directed music video for the first single off their new album (Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2). The star-studded "Make Some Noise" full length video comes with a short companion, for when there just isn't enough time for major plot developments. You can watch the latter, a 5-minute version, below, and keep your eyes peeled for Seth Rogen, Danny McBride, Elijah Wood, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, John C. Reilly, Jason Schwartzman, Ted Danson, Rainn Wilson, Rashida Jones, Will Arnett, Amy Poehler, Steve Buscemi, Chloe Sevigny, Maya Rudolph, and even Orlando Bloom.
We're told the long-form video will be be available online on April 29th (though yawn only the censored version). Is this the most celebrity-saturated music video to have ever been created? Or at least since the entire cast of Karate Kid appeared in No More Kings’ “Sweep the Leg”?
And even though Ted Danson is a restaurant owner in the video (and according to the song's lyrics) and Jason Schwartzman is in the video... last week Jonathan Ames assured us this was only a coincidence, and had nothing to do with Ted Danson's character on Bored To Death opening his own restaurant in the upcoming season.
