A.I. Generators Violate Artists, Like Myself

A.I. image generators violate the rights of millions of artists; I’m one of those artists.

Tim Burton Directs The Killers Video: Staring Winona Ryder as a Mannequin

On the eerie seaside resort of Blackpool in Northwest England, Tim Burton directed a video for the Killers new single “Here With Me” staring Winona Ryder as a mannequin.

Tim Burton explains the inspiration behind the video, “The first time I saw The Killers perform live was in Blackpool, UK shortly after completing work on our first collaboration, the music video for Bones. When I heard the song Here With Me I remembered seeing a wax figure of Winona in Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in Blackpool. The concept of the video is inspired by the 1935 film Mad Love, starring Peter Lorre, as well as the works of Mario Bava. It was a pleasure to film in Blackpool and to work with The Killers, Winona Ryder and Craig Roberts. I hope you enjoy and Happy Holidays!”
