Exciting news from the Beastie camp today: the trio is reuniting with their "Sabotage" music video (and Being John Malkovich, and Adaptation, and about a dozen other awesome music videos) director Spike Jonze for the video for their next single, "Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win."
In a post on their website, the Boys write, "The video was directed by our esteemed colleague Mr. Spike Jonze. It is an explicit action adventure spectacular. It features action figures of us….and yes, they are ACTION figures, NOT dolls!" The video for the single, which features Santigold—both short and "epic length" versions—will be released later this month. If the band's first video from the Hot Sauce Committee Pt. 2 album, the star-studded "Make Some Noise," and their previous collaboration with Jonze is any indication, this new clip should be a hoot and a holler.
In the meantime, now is the perfect opportunity to revisit the classic video for "Sabotage," an action-packed homage to '70s cop shows:
