For the first time in his career, Steven Spielberg has directed a music video.(Carolyn Cole / Los Angeles Times) By Kenan DraughorneStaff Writer July 18, 2022 11:56 AM PT
is the most commercially successful director of all time, drawing fame, acclaim and three Oscars for his work on high-profile feature films. But three-minute music videos shot on a cellphone?
The “Jurassic Park” director made his music video debut Thursday with “Cannibal,” the new single from Marcus Mumford. The Mumford and Sons lead singer confirmed the news on Twitter and Instagram, sharing a photo of the 75-year-old director sitting in a rolling chair anchored by wife Kate Capshaw and training his phone on the singer.
For the record:
4:52 p.m. July 18, 2022An earlier version of this article said there was no word on when the “Cannibal” video would come out. It was released on July 14.
“On Sunday 3rd July in a high school gym in New York, Steven Spielberg directed his first music video, in one shot, on his phone,” Mumford wrote in a Twitter thread. “Kate Capshaw was the almighty dolly grip.”
“I’ve been overwhelmed by the support of the people around me to bring this music to you, and I cannot hope to express all of my gratitude,” he added. “When people get it, it blows my mind. Kate and Steven just got it, and I cannot thank them enough.”
Mumford & Sons banjo player Winston Marshall apologizes and deletes a tweet calling Andy Ngo’s new antifa tome an “important book.”
Don’t expect Spielberg to retire his movie career anytime soon, though — his semiautobiographical, coming-of-age film “The Fabelmans” is scheduled for a Nov. 11 release. Meanwhile, Mumford is set to release his solo album, “Self-Titled,” on Sept. 16.
