I think you're already aware (or should be, because I am pretty sure I reported on this) that Tim Burton was set to direct a promo for The Killers. Well, he did, and it's the video for 'Bones', and it features bits from classic movies like 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon' and 'From Here To Eternity'. The band's frontman Brandon Flowers told The Sun last week: "It's wonderful. The song's called 'Bones' and it's got brass on it and it's romantic, but it's dark and it just felt like Tim Burton."
Flowers also revealed that he's always been a big fan of Danny Elfman, who frequently soundtracks films for Burton, of course. The singer said: "I stalked Danny Elfman once when he came to eat at a restaurant that I worked at. I went up to the table, I wasn't allowed to, but it was his birthday and he ended up being really sweet. He actually came in the next day and wrote me a note. And so it's been kind of cool to have this big full circle come, where now Tim Burton's talking to [Danny] about us. And he remembers that bus boy."
