Adam Green unveils papier mâché movie project
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 11 March 2016
Adam Green has released a track from his upcoming movie project ‘Adam Green’s Aladdin’ which is, apparently, “a hyper-sensory, poetic and humorously subversive take on the classic ‘Arabian Nights’ tale”. And why not?
The film, which has a soundtrack composed and recorded by Green, stars the musician in the titular role. Aladdin’s lamp is a 3D printer while the princess in the story is a “decadent socialite”. Oh, and the planet gets a sex-change while its population prints out an analogue version of the internet. Yeah, it’s that kind of movie.
The film also features Macaulay Culkin as Ralph The Rebel Leader and Har Mar Superstar as British Druggie Guy, and was filmed on a set made entirely of out papier mâché. I did say something about it being “that kind of movie”, didn’t I?
Says Green: “With ‘Aladdin’, I wanted to create a single and unified experience to showcase my music, art and writing. When creating ‘Aladdin’, I approached the script like it was a song. It has been the creative journey of a lifetime, and I’m so excited to put this out!”
You can see a trailer for the movie here, and check out the video to first track ‘Never Lift A Finger’ below. Green will also tour the UK to promote the new project in May. Tickets will presumably be 3D printed in papier mâché.
