30 Seconds to Mars' 'Kings and Queens' Music Video
1 hour ago | Aceshowbiz | See recent Aceshowbiz news »
30 Seconds to Mars' "King and Queens" music video has just made its way out for viewing pleasure. "We're doing all-night shoots. That was my big, dumb idea, to shoot at night," frontman Jared Leto told MTV about the video.
"But I think this city is a beautiful place at night, and we have these empty streets, and it's kind of a haunting, forgotten landscape," the vocalist continued. "It's been an incredible adventure, but it's also been really difficult, because there are so many people, and we're shutting down streets of Los Angeles."
"Kings and Queens" is the first single taken from 30 Seconds to Mars' upcoming third studio project "This Is War" which is due for December 8 U.S. release. Sharing what they have been going through in getting the album done, Jared said, "I don't know what to say. We spent two years of our lives working on that record, »

30 Seconds To Mars: 'We Killed Ourselves To Make This Album'
22 hours ago | MTV Music News | See recent MTV Music News news »
'It was a time to redefine, rediscover, reinvent, reinvest in each other,' Jared Leto says of This Is War.

By their own admission, 30 Seconds to Mars went to hell and back to make their new album, This Is War, so you can't blame them for being a little hesitant to talk about the process. Sometimes, words aren't enough.
"I don't know what to say. We spent two years of our lives working on that record, and it was us against the world. We didn't have outside influence or help, we didn't have a label, we had us, betting the farm, and pushing ourselves," frontman Jared Leto sighed. "There were times that it was overwhelming. Everything that was going on was brutal, but there were beautiful moments as well. There was so many outside influences that were »
30 Seconds To Mars' This Is War Preview: A Huge, Open Expanse

Band's new LP is massive and shiny, but also cold and empty, in Bigger Than the Sound.

Here is the best way I can describe 30 Seconds To Mars' This Is War, an album born out of rather intense struggles and big ideas, one loaded with icy synths and screaming falcons, epic chorales and windswept sonic expanses (and the occasional Tibetan Monk): Listening to it is like being inside a gigantic silver weather balloon, one ascending into the upper reaches of the stratosphere. It is massive and shiny and beautiful, but also cold and empty.
That's not meant to be a slight — actually the opposite. War is a shimmering epic of an album, to be certain, but as is often the case when big rock bands strive to go even bigger with their sound (the most obvious example I can think »

25 Most Disturbing Movies #6: Requiem for a Dream
9 November 2009 10:11 AM, PST | GreenCine | See recent GreenCine news »
Continuing Simon Augustine's countdown of the Most Disturbing Movies (Read Part 1 for the first 13). [<< #7]
6. Requiem For A Dream (2002) 9 (gross out)/8 (artistic merit)
Darren Aronofsky, the Diy auteur who burst onto the scene with the black and white religious-techno fable Pi, and more recently made the wrenching The Wrestler, may have reached a creative peak with this adaptation of a novel by one of the stars of the disturbing branch of the literary world: Hubert Selby, Jr., who also wrote the book Last Exit to Brooklyn. In perhaps the most jarring and skillfully unnerving chronicles of drug addiction ever made, we witness the destruction by heroin and prescription pills of a mother, her son, his girlfriend and best friend (Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans, all top-notch). »

30 Seconds To Mars' 'Kings And Queens' Video: Watch An Exclusive Preview!

Band has created an epic video, and the roll-out is epic as well.

Thirty Seconds To Mars have already gone to great lengths to make sure that their "Kings and Queens" video is a thoroughly epic production. They've filmed in and around some of Los Angeles' most iconic landmarks, recruited scores of extras and all manner of surrealist street performers to make cameos. So naturally, they want to roll the thing out in an equally epic manner.
Last week, they unveiled a 30-second teaser trailer for the clip, one that features a fire-breathing clown and an army of gas mask-wearing bicycle messengers patrolling the streets of L.A. And now, they're unveiling a second teaser video: right here, right now.
On Monday (November 9), Jared Leto sent MTV News a 30-second clip — called, appropriately enough, "The Horse" — that shows a majestic white »
Decade in Review: 2000 Top Ten
5 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
What follows is my original top ten list of 2000... or rather the revised version I published in 2002. Let's discuss each year of this decade as it winds down! Who's with me?!? It's always interesting to see which films remained at the forefront of our memory and which fade... both for a variety of reasons, quality being only one factor. New comments are in red.
Please note: This list was based on NYC release dates in the year 2000. Some movies are listed as different years at the IMDb based on when they were released in their home country or in La or whatnot.
Runners Up (in descending order): Une Liaisons Pornographique, Nurse Betty, You Can Count On Me, Before Night Falls, Pola X, Chicken Run, American Psycho, Wonder Boys and Billy Elliott Um... What The Hell are some of these movies doing outside the top ten list? You Can Count on Me »

30 Seconds To Mars Featured In 'Dragon Age: Origins'
4 November 2009 9:00 AM, PST | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
EA is continuing its long and difficult campaign of convincing people that "Dragon Age: Origins" is not quite as nerdy as it appears. Today's featured attempt? Bringing 30 Seconds To Mars into the mix. The band contributed one of their new singles, "This Is War," for use in the game. The song is the title track from their upcoming album which drops on December 8th.
Jared Leto, the band's front-man, provided this canned, somewhat antiseptic statement:
"We always like to push the envelope in the entertainment and media space and debuting our title track in a game of this caliber is a great way to communicate our music to fans around the world. We've come a long way from having to rely solely on radio to approach and engage music fans, and 'Dragon Age: Origins' is the perfect game to do this with."

They quoted Leto as saying: "As far as I'm concerned I have the best manager on the entire planet, the legendary Irving Azoff. We have been working together (more) »

Jared Leto fires his management!
14 October 2009 4:22 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Jared Leto has reportedly fired his management team.
The singer-and-actor has reportedly parted ways with advisors just one month before his band 30 Seconds To Mars are due to release new album 'This Is War'.
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "Jared is too controlling. This latest move just feels like self-sabotage
"It's very strange timing as his management team was very good. His tour manager has now left too.
"No one can quite believe what's happening."
Record company bosses have refused to be drawn on the reports.
A representative said: "I have heard rumours of the guys parting company but nothing has been confirmed."
The 37-year-old star is notoriously precious about his music career, and refuses to discuss films he has been in when promoting his records.
Meanwhile, Jared has spoken out in support of gay rights group Fair.
The organisation has persuaded a number of celebrities to autograph »

A sexy Jared Leto and his Thirty Seconds to Mars bandmates hopped on their motorcycles and took over the Santa Monica Pier Monday night. The guys invited fans to come along and join in on the fun as they filmed a video for their new single "Kings and Queens." Jared switched out of music mode to make an appearance at last month's NY Fashion Week and participate in a celebrity charity auction to support gay marriage, but his attention will be back on his group before their album This Is War! drops on Dec. 8.

Jared Leto Gets Fired Up Over Gay Marriage
13 October 2009 4:45 PM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »
What's got Jared Leto starting fires these days? Gay marriage. The actor-musician is helping raise money for gay rights group Fair by taking part in an online auction of celebrity-signed prints of artist Shepard Fairey's "Defend Equality Love Unites," a poster in support of gay marriage. But Leto did more than just doodle his autograph... After writing out the actual language of the Proposition 8 ballot initiative on the back of his Fairey print, he burned it and placed the ashes in a clear glass urn with the inscription, "Here lies within, the remains of Proposition 8, may it rest in peace." Then he signed, dated and topped it with a red ribbon. Among the... »
30 Seconds To Mars Go Epic With 'Kings And Queens' Video

30 Seconds to Mars are not exactly what you'd call a subtle rock band. Their This Is War album (due December 8) features songs written in Berlin and recorded in Hawaii (with Kanye West), guest vocals from fans recorded at so-called "summits" around the globe, and appearances by Tibetan monks and Iranian Twitterers, to name just a few.
So, it's not surprising to learn that the video for War's first single, "Kings and Queens," has become a gigantic event too. In fact, 30Stm were no longer even referring to it as a video. It's a short film now.
"Our rule as a band is, when we do videos — which, I don't often think of them as videos, more as short »

Way to stump for alternative transportation, Jared Leto! Leto and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, filmed a video for their latest single "Kings and Queens" in downtown Los Angeles on Sunday, along with about a bazillion or so fellow bicycling enthusiasts.

Sitges '09: My Sitges Story - Part 3
6 October 2009 12:33 PM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
Monday, October 5
I begin my first full week at the Sitges film festival (see last entry here) with a leisurely stroll into town. Several vendors hawking horror T-shirts and posters have set up shop outside the fest’s Brigadoon theater (where non-competition and video screenings are free for the locals), serving as a sort of mini-convention.
Two movies are on the agenda today. First up at the plush Auditori Melia is the Belgian/Canadian/French/German co-production Mr. Nobody, an excellent fantasy/quasi-sci-fi film that pretty much defies easy classification and synopsis. Urban Legend’s Jared Leto (never better) stars as a 117-year-old man (in totally convincing old age makeup), who, we are told, is the last mortal man alive on the Earth of 2092, where people now live forever. Gradually, the complexities of his back story are revealed as we experience multiple storylines of at least three different histories the character may have lived. »
