The Flaming Lips are proud to have released their long-awaited film debut, Christmas On Mars: A Fantastical Film Freak-out Featuring the Flaming Lips, now available in stores, on Warner Bros. Records. Two different packages will be available to consumers: A single DVD disc of the 86-minute movie starring the Flaming Lips along with various family, crew members, and famous friends, and a deluxe DVD/CD package that includes the movie as well as the complete 12-track original film score by the Flaming Lips. The disc will allow the viewer to choose between standard stereo mix of the super 5.1 Zeta Bootis Surround Sound specially designed by the Flaming Lips and producer Dave Fridmann.
Video extras include interviews with band members Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd, Michael Ivins, and Kliph Scurlock, as well as a bonus featurette entitled: From Drawings To A Movie: Inside Wayne’s Endless Yellow Notepad, in which Coyne walks the viewer through the film’s conceptual genesis from an idea, into sketches and storyboards, and eventually onto film. The deluxe edition will also contain a set of movie postcards, a commemorative screen-printed Movie Ticket and Popcorn Box (which were only available at the original concert festival screenings over the summer), and a special limited-edition T-shirt designed by Coyne, all exclusive to this package.
The movie will be available for purchase via iTunes Movies upon its release date making it even easier for fans to see Christmas On Mars as soon as it becomes commercially viewable. Seven years in the making, the film made its theatrical debut this past September exclusively at the KGB Film complex in New York City where it was screened in high-definition video and the custom-designed Zeta Bootis Mega Supersonic Super-Sound Surround System, which The LIPS created for the film. Screenings sold-out immediately and the critics have showered the film with abundant praise:
The New York Times wrote that Christmas On Mars is “destined for cult status. Forget the plot, it’s about textures: black and white images with psychedelic bursts; dashes of David Lynch, the ’70s midnight movie Dark Star and 2001; an echo of The Wizard of Oz; and in a riff on maternity, maybe an iota of The Matrix. Dude, pass the munchies.” New York Magazine said: “We’ve seen The Flaming Lips’ ‘Christmas On Mars’ — and it’s as weird as we’d hoped!”
