Is is still premiering in theaters and is she still going to do the New York/California thing?

[alexzdelrey 122]

tbh it doesn't look like how i pictured it. in the trailer it looks like some gangster heist film i'm really interested to see how the "heaven" scenes play out and what the story line is supposed to be

[Wryta Thinkpiece 3,342]

Oh my fucking god. The lighting, the cinematography, the ambiance...


I am so fucking excited. It's going to be immaculate.

Anyone else get a Spring Breakers vibe?

Yes. I said that earlier. And plus for me a little bit of "We found love" music video vibe.

[radiodasirius 637]

She has a weird ass accent at the beginning.

The 30-minute piece is released on December 5th, and is supported by a four-track EP of the same name. Featuring the songs 'The Film 'Tropico'', 'Body Electric', 'Gods And Monsters' and 'Bel Air', the EP is available digitally from December 5th.

oh wait. Tropico is actually a song?

I find it kind of odd the way her team is positioning this. Memo to Lana's team: There's already an EP with "Body Electric", "Gods & Monsters", and "Bel Air". It's called Paradise.

 

Why not call it what it is, a short film with the music from it as bonus tracks? Also, this says it's available digitally on December 5th. Has anyone seen anything about a physical release? ("Physical release" sounds dirty. I digress.)

 

I share others' skepticism that Tropico is also a song. However, this thing is supposedly 30 minutes long. The length of those three songs combined clocks in well short of that. She might monologue us to death, but I'm expecting some acting with dialogue. (Anyone else find it ironic that Lana says she can't act, but then decides to forgo the conventional 3-minute music video format in favor of a short film that will likely require a significant amount of acting on her part?) Whether the rest of this is fleshed out with voice-over, dramatic dialogue, or wordless acting, I do expect the remainder of the running time will be scored. So I think we will get new music of some kind out of this. Probably variations on the other songs (similar to the Ride intro) but not necessarily with vocals.

Well yeah that is kind of obvious, we will get the scores for sure.

And they will be heavenly, beautiful

I hope the monologue is as dramatic and epic as Ride's one!!!

I have this feeling that Summertime Sadness will be the 4th track on the EP. I don't know if someone posted this picture yet but "Summertime Sadness" is listed in those posters:

 

it's weird because it already has a video?? 

 

edit: just saw that someone said those are posters for the Paradise edition so probably no new video but maybe it's on the EP if it's listed there

[Trash Magic 26,845]

There will not be a new song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summertime Sadness is on the poster of The Paradise Edition not Tropico's poster!

[RileyThomas 349]

I just find it odd on that poster that they would write SS, with Bel Air, G&M + BE to promote paradise? Fair enough with SS as the remix was a worldwide hit but the others I don't get because surely it would say Ride as that was the lead single? Or maybe they put Summertime Sadness there so that people who aren't die hard Lana fans but just know of her because of SS will watch Tropico? I'm confused myself because I'm sure SS isn't in Tropico.

[Trash Magic 26,845]

I really don't understand how people are misinterpreting things so much.

 

There are 2 different posters. 1 for Tropico.

The second for Born To Die: The Paradise Edition. Which features all the tracks listed... I really don't understand the confusion it has made here?

Ride was the first single LAST YEAR, they would have written Ride there if this was last year, but Summertime Sadness was the latest smash single from the album which people know from the radio, and the other three song, BE, GaM, BE are listed there because they are included in Tropico which will come out soon! so its a promotion for the upcoming and current stuff not the past ones !

 

and I think its pretty clever!

 

I hope she announces it on TV, or puts an ad or something! more people SHOULD know about this!

Summertime Sadness was released as a single from Born to Die though and not from Paradise  

This is some messy but very clever advertising, I guess we'll just have to wait and see
