The 'Net's been buzzing this week with Modest Mouse 's music video for " King Rat ," off their recent EP, No One's First and You're Next . This video was conceived by late actor Heath Ledger, who received a director's credit. It's a creepy animated vid--Ledger made it to protest illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia. In an eerie turning-of-the-tables, the vid depicts a crew of whales hunting humans in order to make pet food. It makes my skin crawl, but it's sobering, not to mention effective. Check [...]

VIRAL VIDEO: We have hearing word on the interwebs that there was a freaky new Modest Mouse video for the track King Rat making the rounds. We even found a couple of copies of the video but somebody evidently told somebody in Legal. All of the audio tracks had been removed. *(What good's a cool new music video without the tunes?) Well here's the scoopp. With the help of our friend Dodge , we located this intact copy of the King Rat video [...]
more about " Modest Mouse, King Rat ", posted with vodpod Two years after the news was out that Heath Ledger was working on a video for Modest Mouse bonus track off a 2007 LP, , and 19 months after he passed away, the video surfaces online. Here is the collaborative effort of Modest Mouse and the late great Heath Ledger's touch in directing the production of this Portland band music video. It concludes with a message in white letters on a black screen: "This [...]
Here's the Heath Ledger-directed video for Modest Mouse's "King Rat", a vivid anti-whaling clip that Ledger's partners in the media company the Masses completed in his honor following his untimely death. Here's what Modest Mouse had to say about the clip on their MySpace blog ( via SPIN ): "Heath's vision, brave and unapologetic in its nature, would marry his love of bold and original music with his impassioned stance against the illegal commercial whale hunts taking place off the coast of Australia each year," the band wrote in a post [...]
Hace tiempo Adrián les contó que Heath Ledger había dirigido un vídeo para Modest Mouse antes de morir, específicamente para la canción "King Rat", la cual forma parte su nuevo EP No One's First, And You're Next . Sin embargo debido a su sorpresiva muerte el actor no pudo terminar este proyecto, por lo que Isaac Brock y una compañía llamada The Masses, de la que Heath era socio, decidieron junto al grupo completar su idea y así rendir tributo a su memoria. El vídeo fue concebido por Ledger [...]
Modest Mouse have released a video for forthcoming single King Rat that was supposedly 'directed by Heath Ledger'. In fact it's unclear how much the late actor and now cult figure had to do with things: a note after the song concludes is decidedly vague, if rather nice and moving in its brevity: "This began with our friend, a [...]

Modest Mouse - King Rat (Video) Not exactly a band that anyone has yet to discover, but this video is absolutely spectacular. Nods to the late Heath Ledger for directing and Terry Gilliam for the cool animation! Modest Mouse's new EP No One's First, and You're Next is out today.
After the tragic death of actor Heath Ledger this January, the man who might forever be known as the quintessential Joker was raised instantly from legendary to mythic status. Leaving behind a moderate body of work in his 15 years in the movie industry, the projects Ledger had been attached to but never finished became ventures shrouded in mystique. Who would dare take up the mantle of the greatest supervillain when Christopher Nolan inevitably pens the final chapter in his Batman saga? Terry Gilliam's forthcoming The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus is rumored to have [...]

And You're Next . Nonetheless, good news (especially about good music) bares repeating: The video, which was directed by Heath Ledger and finished after his death by a The Masses , a company which which Ledger [...]
Before his untimely passing, Heath Ledger was working on a video for Modest Mouse that was said to be heavily influenced by Terry Gilliam. Here is that video, along with the press release. The video was fully conceived down to the last detail but unfinished when Heath passed away in January of 2008. In the interest of fully realizing Heath's final work as a visual artist, THE MASSES (a film and music company which Heath was a partner in) finished the video in his honor, with the support and advocacy of Isaac Brock. [...]
Here's the brand new Modest Mouse video for "King Rats" which just made its debut earlier today. Much talked about, primarily because it was conceived and directed by the late Heath Ledger, the video was actually unfinished at the time of Ledger's death and was finally completed by the film and music company THE MASSES . Also worth noting is that the animation for the "King Rat" video was done by filmmaker and Monty Python alum Terry Gilliam. "King Rat" is just one of eight [...]
