After starring in the recent LCD Soundsystem documentary Shut Up And Play The Hits, James Murphy is now set to work with Happy Days actor, film director and Arrested Development narrator Ron Howard on a short film.
The project will form part of Canon’s Project Imaginat10n campaign, with various celebrities featuring in shorts based on user-submitted photographs.
Among those involved are actor Jamie Foxx, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, Twitter founder Biz Stone, and fashion designer Georgina Chapman -with matters overlooked by Murphy and Howard themselves.
Shut Up And Play The Hits is out on DVD come 9 October via Oscilloscope.
