It looks like September 19th will be like Christmas for all Simple Plan fans: we already know that we’ll finally get the tourdates for both: the Canadian and the US tour and now, as a cherry on top of all that: we’ll finally get the world premiere of the “Astronaut” music video!
To make us even more excited, the guys decided to release a set of 14 pictures from behind the scenes of Astronaut. If you remember, in the interview for SimplePlan.cz the guys confimed there will be a subtle reference to Patrick Langlois in this music video… can you already spot it on the photos? :)
With the premiere of Astronaut being just around the corner, let’s sum up everything we already know about this music video:
“Astronaut” is the second single and at the same time the third music video from Simple Plan’s new album “Get Your Heart On!”. The director is Mark Staubach, who also directed the first GYHO! videoclip: “Can’t Keep My Hands Off You”. The shoot took place in a desert in the US and the actress/model Caitlin O’Connor was hired to portray one of the astronauts. According to Chuck this music video has probably the longest (around 45 seconds long) intro that Simple Plan has ever had in a music video and therefore the band considers it to be more like a mini-movie.
We’ll see how it all worked out this coming Monday, on September 19th.
