Tim Burton has agreed to make his debut as a music-video director by working with The Killers for their new song 'Bones'.
The director's distinctive style is set to permeate the video, which will feature an animated town of characters as well as a live performance from the band.
Bassist Mark Stoermer told MTV: "We were just kicking around ideas for the 'Bones' video, and we thought, 'Wouldn't it be great if Tim Burton could shoot this?' We reached out to his people and he came back and said he wanted to work with us, which was amazing."
"We've shot all our parts and now the video is being worked on. It's going to have computer graphics and models ... we're not really sure how it's going to turn out. Usually we go over the treatment with a fine-toothed comb and have a lot of influence, but this time we just let Tim do his thing," he added.
Frontman Brandon Flowers commented: "It's Tim Burton. It's going to be great. There are some skeletons, some darkness and some romance. What more could you want?"
