Earlier this month Will Butler dropped his incredible Emma Stone dance filled video for “Anna” and we couldn’t get enough. Now, he’s shared an festive spooky video for “What I Want” starring Jennifer Morrison (who you may recognize from the TV show House). Directed by Brantley Gutierrez (who also directed “Anna”), Butler and Morrison play a buttoned-up couple who find themselves in a DIY club filled with punk children. Together with some lazer gentrification guns, they turn the kids into boring old adults. Butler had this to say about the video…
Filming this video felt like a rock and roll laser tag birthday party. The kids were amazing-upbeat and hilarious the whole shoot. Such civilized anarchists. And-to mix metaphors, I guess-Jennifer Morrison was a real Albus Dumbledore, wise and unflappable and insanely talented. She truly classed up the rest of us muggles.
