Scenes will be shot in the San Francisco Bay area and will be available for viewing later this month. Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich said that working with Reed and Aronofsky is "living the dream".

Definitely not the best thing done by anyone, ever.

Darren Aronosfky, na sua carreira premiada de diretor de cinema, lida diariamente com intensidade, obsessão e temas sombrios. Mas aposto que até para Darren, ouvir Lulu até o fim e traduzir uma de suas canções na forma de um clipe não será tarefa fácil. O diretor, célebre por filmes como Réquiem para um Sonho e Cisne Negro, está confirmado no comando do clipe de Iced Honey , faixa do controverso álbum fruto da parceria entre Lou Reed e a banda Metallica . O clipe será gravado em San Francisco, Califórnia, e tem [...]

Filed under: News , Video , New Music Neilson Barnard, WireImage Metallica and Lou Reed 's painful powerhouse of disaster, 'Lulu,' has only been out for a few days and critics can't seem to get enough of slagging it into an illegitimate heap of nonsense (that is, until it goes full circle and becomes art again).

Over at the Lou Reed/Metallica website , an announcement was made that Aronofsky would direct a music video for the track "Iced Honey" from the debacle of an album, Lulu . The video will be shot in the San Francisco Bay Area and will [...]

Darren Arnofsky made The Wrestler , so he knows something about old, broken-down pieces of meat. He made Black Swan , so he knows about confusing horrorshows. He made The Fountain , so he knows about ambitious experiments that don't quite work out. And he made Requiem For A Dream , so he knows about the sorts of bad decisions that come out of excessive drug use. And even with all that in mind, it's still a bit of a surprise to learn that he's directing a video for the Lou Reed/Metallica travesty [...]

Darren Aronofsky is one of my all-time favorite directors, with Requiem For A Dream and The Wrestler amongst my all-time favorite movies (the former much more so than the latter). Fun fact: Aronofsky went to the same high school as I did (Edward R. Murrow High, represent!) and a lot of Requiem was shot in ...

Theory of a Dead Man, Young Rebel Set, Puddle of Mud, Limp Bizkit, Kevin Federline. These are some of the only bands who released albums this year that have an aggregated score lower than Lou Reed and Metallica's ambitious and unsightly Lulu. But before we unshackle Lou Reed and Metallica from the gallows located in the internet's town square, we sought out various writers' smilies - the most dubious and snarky of all literary devices - regarding the collaborative clusterfuck . --- [...]

There have been odd musical collaborations over the decades, but few may be as bizarre as Lulu , the new album from Lou Reed & Metallica . It's easy to understand why people may be skeptical about the project from two Rock and Roll Hall of Fame acts, and after listening to it, there is good reason to be guarded. Things begin on a promising note with the blues-metal "Brandenburg Gates". That sets the tone for an album that includes some of Metallica's strongest arrangements in years. Often intense and [...]
