Arcade Fire releasing short film starring Toni Collette (watch the teaser)

Arcade Fire will release a short film titled Money + Love on Thursday, March 15. It was directed by David Wilson and stars Oscar and Tony-nominated actress Toni Collette, along with the band and plays out as a double video for Everything Now songs “Put Your Money on Me” and “We Don’t Deserve Love.” Says the director (who has worked with the band since Reflektor), “The ambition and scale of the piece was huge from the outset,” adding “It’s an as-close-to-perfect collaboration that I can think of with me and Win hitting emails backwards and forwards continually over the formation of the script. The connection, communication and enthusiasm from the band on the multiple shoot days led to an extremely tight bond.” Collette, meanwhile, says Arcade Fire are one of her all-time favorite bands and “It was a total pleasure acting with them and an even greater pleasure getting to know them. They continue to inspire and I continue to admire. I mean, who gets to do that? I am so lucky!” You can watch the trailer for the film below.

Arcade Fire are in NYC this week as they’re the musical guests on Saturday Night Live on March 17 with host Bill Hader. While here, as Arcade Fire Tube points out, there’s a “A Conversation With Arcade Fire” event at Gramercy Theatre on March 14. It’s a private event hosted by Spotify Fans First.

UPDATE: “A Conversation With Arcade Fire” is, as Arcade Fire Tube again points out, the world premiere of “Money + Love” followed by a conversation between the band and Spike Jonze about music and film.

Arcade Fire, who are releasing their first EP on vinyl for the first time ever for Record Store Day, will be on tour in Europe starting in April, and are playing a few U.S. festivals this summer, including Louisville, KY’s Forecastle. All dates are listed below.
