While You Were Sleeping, Yeah Yeah Yeahs burned a model at the stake

New M83:

M83’s Anthony Gonzalez is scoring Tom Cruise’s post-apocalyptic Oblivion, and six minutes of that score, featuring the vocals of Norwegian Susanne Sundfør, have just hit the net.

It’s pretty epic, you guys.

New Yeah Yeah Yeahs:

Here’s the film clip for ‘Sacrilege’, the first single off Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ fourth full-length, Mosquito, which is due out next month. The clip’s narrative moves backwards and is set in small-town America, where a girl of disconcertingly ambiguous age and extremely expressive face (UK model Lily Cole) is caught in bed with a man, and the pair are run through the town and burned at a stake. The plot thickens when it turns out that she’s been sexing around with the rest of the village, too.

Harmony Korine was a dirty stinking thief:

In an interview with Spring Breakers’ star James Franco on The Late Show, David Letterman revealed why the film’s director Harmony Korine had been banned from the show back in 1998. “I went upstairs to greet Meryl Streep and welcome her to the show, and I knock on the door…and she was not in there. And I looked around, and she was not in there, and I found Harmony going through her purse. True story. And so I said, ‘That’s it, put her things back in her bag and then get out.'” Under Franco’s urging, he agreed to let Korine come back.

These guys! At this stage, Spring Breakers could just be a 120 minute-long montage of Selena Gomez throwing old bikinis at a passed-out Gucci Mane and we’d still buy tickets to it. (via THR)

New Gatsby teaser:

The fireworks! The streamers! The party! The pearls! The Gatsby!

That should keep half of you shimmering with excitement until the glitzy, glam Luhrmann extravaganza comes out on May 30. The other half will remain cowering under your desks, hiding from the cash cow bastardisation that’s about to become  of a classic American novel. You old fusspots.

Will you just look at this millionaire:

Meet Nick D’Aloisio. He is a 17-year-old Australian now based in London. He just sold a program he’s been working on for 18 months. The program is called Summly, and uses a bunch of algorithms to summarise any online text in under 400 characters. He sold it to Yahoo for $28.7 million. He’s really hoping Marni from Girls will get back together with him now. (via Wired)

Got 44 minutes?

Good.
