HolidayGuy Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Akerlund did fine with ROL, Music and AL (original/director's cut), but "Celebration" is a forgettable clip in her videography. LFL deserves a substantial clip.
qans1990 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I thought the odds were on Ray Caesar for directing this video? He would certainly bring a fresh perspective, he has quite an imagination, judging from his bio. Based on his art work though I think he might be better suited for directing the DP or Ghosttown video, if that ever comes to pass. http://www.raycaesar.com/about-ray-caesar
Butter9 Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I heard a 30 sec clip of LFL while driving to work this morning on MET FM ( One of the biggest radio here in Thailand ) and they said " Stay tuned for The Return of Madonna The Queen Of Pop " . I'm happy cos during the MDNA era I heard absolutely nothing on the radio regarding Madonna.
Arnian Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Fincher for LFL and if there's a Bitch, I'm Madonna video I'd love Scorsese in a "Wolf of Wall Street" type style party with Nicki and others. Would be too perfect.
BangGangUK Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Director Bette getting things ready 'on set' for when M gets back from holiday. I envisage LOTS of dancing, black capes and bushes.
mtzlplk Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 she should shoot the video soon , according to Guy the prermiere of the video is February 10th , or I am wrong... They should do that, first week of youtube streams plus Grammys, plus single release will make sure it at least chart in the Hot100
Guest Ivy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 David Fincher would be great, but I think he's too busy... And I don't think big movie directors will work with her, for many reasons (too expensive, schedule conflicts, ego conflicts...) One thing is sure with this video : she'll surprise us all! She wants LFL to be a hit Why oh why do people want David Fincher? Have you not seen that stinky piece of crap known as Gone Girl, yuk! The man has lost it completely since last directing Madonna ( though I adore his film clips ) In all seriousness, I would like to see Jane Fonda direct LFL ( let's hope Bette is scrapped ) I could so see an aerobics theme to this clip, with Leg Warner's and Charlie Horses!
robster Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Cinematography wise I envision a mix between Disclosure's original video for "F For You" (without Mary J Blige) and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off". We start off with a huge white soundstage with very smooth, clean lighting and M walking up to the camera, up to a clean close-up, in different looks, ranging for the clean Versace campaign look to the full curled Rebel Heart promo era look. Starting in black and white images. Singing towards the camera, as she starts singing it's intercut with images of her loved ones standing face to face with her, her father, siblings, children, ex-husbands, ex-boyfriends, dancers, friends, celebrity friends, designers, collaborators. Like she is singing to them, honouring them, worshipping them, As she sings the soundstage takes on color and the white soundstage appears to be a huge video screen with brightly colored motion grahpic design on them, mostly colored in red. The dancers dance around her in tight routines. The entire feel is very 80's and early 90's, but it's a big love song for her loved ones. They could also do this set-up with people of all walks of life. An old woman, a child, big bear gay man, transgenders, all nationalities, religions, groups of people. Generally people who "life her up" spiritually speaking. Very clean imagery, steady cam, fast cuts, but a camera that always seems to be moving pan from left to right, zooming in or out, very static movement.

I'm terribly sorry but "Gone Girl" was one of the best movies of the year. He is a visionary in his sleek, crisp and clean character studies. A modern day Hitchcock, absolutely breathtaking cinematography and directing. His "Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" was startling and gorgeously made as well.
flexy Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 I've got the strongest feeling that her children are going to be featured in it!
mgreece Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Would be interesting to see Darren Aronofsky direct a Madonna video. I know her thinks a lot of her and his visuals are always beautifully done. Always adored his artistic vision on "the Fountain" not to mention Black Swan as well. I d love to see what he could come up with for the Queen
vocalism Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Madonna needs to direct LFL herself. I don't understand why she hasn't done that yet. The excuse that she doesn't want to be on both sides of the camera is silly given how involved she is in everything. Co-direct at least. Why oh why do people want David Fincher? Have you not seen that stinky piece of crap known as Gone Girl, yuk!

He's a great director. The Game and The Social Network are two of my faves. I enjoyed Gone Girl - the problem was more the script than anything else.
Macromad Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 In what parallel universe was Jump a great video??? LOL I like it, the japanese theme, the jumpers, the camera angles, Madonna's look.
dollhouse Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 LOL I like it, the japanese theme, the jumpers, the camera angles, Madonna's look. the white wall?

Poster has no idea what they are talking about saying "Gone Girl" isn't a well made film haha. It is a layered beauty. I haven't read the book but it's rare when an adaptation reaches greater heights and I've been told it does. We already know what he and M can do together. It's time for another collaboration! It'll probably never happen again though with how busy he is and hard to get.
Guest CzarnaWisnia Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Why do people think Hollywood directors are going to direct music videos? Does that ever happen? If so it must be a rarity. And why always go for the past directors? Don't be so nostalgic. There are plenty of great young directors. She should ask Xavier Dolan to direct her video. He did this amazing video for Indochine:

It'll probably never happen again though with how busy he is and hard to get. Not to drag this thread further into movie talk, but I hated that movie. However it, like all Fincher films, was extremely well done. I just didn't buy the story at all, but Fincher's duds (again, IMO) are better than movies than the greatest achievements of other directors. Always worth-seeing. Pedro Almodóvar That would be incredible.
Moka Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Why do people think Hollywood directors are going to direct music videos? You're right, in fact I think I don't care who will be the director as long as the idea and realisation are good!

Moka Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Xavier Dolan would be a good collab, I had the same idea a few months ago when I watched his first movies (and the Indochine video). He's young, talented, gay, and he loves Madonna (and Celine Dion). I would watch that with great pleasure But I think he's in L.A. preparing his first movie in english with Kit Harrington ( ) and Susan Sarandon.

If so, I love him even more lol Yes, and Jessica Chastain!

If so, I love him even more lol "Les gens s’imaginent que je suis une espèce de hipster, avec une culture très pointue, amateur d’électro-pop suédoise spasmique. Mais la vérité est que je viens de « Maman, j’ai raté l’avion », « Ma petite princesse », « Matilda », « Titanic », Céline Dion, Madonna, Goldman... C’est mon enfance."

Starman Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Its probably gonna be footage of her in a white wall mixed with the lastmalawi trip Whoever is gonna direct the schedule is tight!
Moka Posted January 5, 2015 Posted January 5, 2015 Its probably gonna be footage of her in a white wall mixed with the lastmalawi trip I think you underestimate Madonna's ambition for this album...
luluthecat Posted January 6, 2015 Posted January 6, 2015 We're used to such disappointment. But there's no way it's gonna be - dancing against a wall with cut to a person dancing a a choir singing!! God I prey it isn't!!! M's pretty much followed the same patten of since 2000 of: 1st single: big budget in yo face 2nd: fashion photography video (some better than others, Don't Tell Me and Give it 2 Me come to mind)
